I realise that gnubg currently loads board settings from .gnubgautorc, and 
doesn't use Default settings from \.gnubg\boards.xml. I'm suggesting that it 
should. Then there would be no need to store board settings in .gnubgautorc. 
This would allow users to change their preferred board setting without 
disrupting any other stored settings. 

At present, if you use a new board and then Save Settings, all your default 
analysis, rollout and eval settings also get overwritten, if you have modified 
them during the session. I think this is undesirable.
