Rattatechess 0.666 alpha windows build

[Jim Ablett]

Here's a Windows exe of Rattatechess 0.666 alpha (latest src).
It was compiled with cygwin (dll included).

Tested working ok except that opening book support
is broken (author needs to fix). Uses about 35mb for hash.
Not very strong.

Hi Andrew,

Yes, It's supposed to use mscp's book. It has a read_book() function
for loading book which seems ok, but I can't find in the code where it's actually used - maybe I missed it.
I suppose you could just 'shoehorn in' mscp's opening book code, but
not without permission from both authors.

regards,
Jim.

I made a MINGW build.

The poll stuff was used strictly to see if there was keyboard input.

So the typical Bioskey function + gettimeofday was added.
Probably no faster than the cygwin build, but does not need the additional DLL file.

Binary only (no book):
