Long time no see

As usual, available for download from Leo's site (
http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/).
The bug comes with a x64 version (since 1.6.2) and a readme.txt (most important information : use -winboard parameter to use it with Winboard, Arena or any other winboard interface).
Same book as 1.6.3.
Cheers
François

Bugchess is one of the best blitz engines out there... so it's always good to see new release!
