I really should get to bed earlier, but i've coded this. Move timeouts should now be automatic.

Yes.
ScidvsPC's tourney time management is pretty good i think. It's probably more than Xboard (et-al), but imho should be very small because of careful tournament loop construction and time calculation.

The 2 seconds (set comp(delta) 2000) timeouts are currently for both time-pre-game and time-per-move tourneys, but are not indicative of any lag period. I believe one can set this to .1 second (100), .01 second (10) , or even zero, and it should still work perfectly. But i don't want to be so stingy that games are lost because an engine takes .11 seconds for a move instead of .1 seconds. The flat two seconds is just a generous working value.

BTW, In per-game times, the tolerance is still zero regardless of what one sets comp(delta) to. If an engine uses it's alotted time, it loses. This timeout is merely a safeguard against engines hanging. Testing appreciated.
