Main.c contradicts Peter Skinner's statement that the only change is that EGTBs
are handled properly. Here is the text of the updates included:

 *   19.18   HashProbe() no longer adjusts alpha/beta bounds if the entry is   *
 *           not good enough to terminate the search here.  this has helped    *
 *           speed things up (reduced size of tree) over many test positions   *
 *           so either it was buggy or not worthwhile.  regardless, it is now  *
 *           'gone'.                                                           *
 *                                                                             *
 *   19.19   connected passed pawns now scored as a simple pair of pawns that  *
 *           are better as they are advanced, the old connected passed pawns   *
 *           on the 6th rank special code has been removed.                    *
 *                                                                             *

What is that 19.19 business? And there is no Crafty.c file anymore that allows
compiling by just pointing to that. Anyone know what's what?
