29c533f2d9 Apply a patch from Tim Mann's chess site that fixes the following problem:
The "edit" function is not implemented in GNU Chess 5.00. This means
    that XBoard's "Edit Position" feature will not work with it.  Loading a
    position from a file, loading a PGN game that starts from a nonstandard
    position, or playing an ICS wild game in Zippy mode, etc., will also not
    work.

Also fix the gnuchessx script to accept options and to pass them through to
the gnuchess binary.

Bump package version number to 5.00nb2.

3dbb17828a Update to gnuchess-5.00nb1: add code to allow building of opening books in
user-specified locations.  Remove installation of default book...it's so small
that it's pretty much useless anyway.  See games/gnuchess-book-* for chess
opening books for GNU Chess.

3bdfd7c9b9 Open the opening book with read permissions, not read/write. This fixes
an error where GNU Chess would go out of book on the first move when it
fails to open the book read/write, and concludes the book isn't there.

c1a19d047c Update gnuchess to 5.00. From the GNU chess web page:
Version 5.00 is the current release. Version 5.00 shares no code with
   versions 1.x through 4.x. The major motivation for this release is to
   simplify chess code making it more pedantically accessible, use modern
   data structures, make it easy to modify by less skilled programmers,
   and increase understandability to non-programmer, skilled chess
   experts.
