I have just commited a huge patch that makes entire branch compilable.
However, nothing currently works (except for `joseki.c' which was
needed for proper compilation.)  Basically, each `.c' file now includes
a temporary header, `old-board.h'.  The header contains declarations
of external variables like board[] that previously sit in `board.h'.
In addition, I have added `goban' argument everywhere it was needed.
Currently, `goban' is a static pointer to `Goban' structure that is
never initialized.  Later it will be passed between functions and be
non-static.

That `joseki' keeps is very reassuring.  Means that board code has
not been broken in the process, or at least not in a major way.

The plan now is to start converting `play-gtp.c' and `reading.c' to
properly using dynamically allocated boards.

I'd like to thank Emacs for making full automatization of argument
addition possible :)
