Alf 1.09

[Casper W. Berg]

After a lot of code rewriting there's a new version of Alf on my homepage.
It should be at least 50 elo points stronger than the previous version.

Major changes/new features:
- new book and book builder included
- less memory use and faster loading
- bugfixes: crash on very long games and wrong draw claim
(thanks for the error reports, Leo and Olivier)
- improved evaluation and search

I have not yet rewritten the graphical interface to the new move rep, so it's not included in the new version -it needs some brushing up too...

All comments are very welcome
