Fri Sep 26

TimeControl:
- fixed the bug of having the player's clock running while animating the computer move.
- fixed a bug that stopped the GTK update of the running clock (there must be another bug)
- made some GTK GUI for selecting time control and a (presently unfinished an non-functional) skeleton of GUI for defining time controls.
- made a separate file with the example time controls, and updated the help text to say that you can open this with the open commands command.
- Not fixed: with tutor mode on, the human player is debited for the time GNUbg spends analyzing (human player's) cube decision and chequer play.
  This seems to be correct. The analysis helps the player - not the program.

missing conditional around call to HitGameClockTue (play.c)

Thu Sep 18

first cut at paramaterising board. It now appears to be possible to alter the aspect ratio (adding space in the middle).
