Yes, the Analyse/Rollout/Cube will actually operate on non-cmarked
moves. I was aware of this previously which was why I had a concern that
"Rollout Marked" may not apply to all 4 of the options currently under
that menu. We could rework the menu.

As for the negative numbers. Timothy Chow reported this unusual behavior
a month or two ago. It seems related to changes in the past4-6 months. I
haven't got to look at it closely. It is almost appears as if the
rollout threads were not complete before it displayed the stats and end
sup with bogus values for the number of trials. It doesn't seem to
impact the rollout though. If you add up the numbers in the column they
do seem to be okay (at least that was what I had observed previously)
