Stockfish goes EGBB

I got some ample time last couple of hours so I decided to implement EGBBs in the world's stongest engines. I have implemented them quickly and they seem to work fine for up to 6 men. Source code is here
https://github.com/dshawul/Stockfish/commits/master . Once everything is finalized I will start making binaries. This is just an announcement of the project.

I think it is working properly now. People who compile Stockfish development versions can compile it. If you want something for your tests, I can make a compile for you.

Yesterday I compile, it works well.
But I not have downloaded all six parts to test.
I can not download torrent.
Good job you've done.

Ok thanks. I have tested with 6-men here so it is Ok. Now what is left is for Stockfish people to remove unnecessary internal bitbases
.
All that an engine needs to know in endgames is if a side has chances to win, not its exact value. There seems to be a lot of the latter in stockfish IIRC.
