This thing works really well too:
http://winmerge.org/
I set it to "ignore all white space" on the settings page, because I run the code through indent:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/univers ... =directory
{I don't use the GUI tool, I just run it from the command line with my own scripts}
I also change all of the structures and enum so that they are not unnamed. This is helpful so that documentation tools like doxygen won't label them as "struct <irritating absurd nonsense structure name goes here>".

done a short test for the new version of the bird.
120games, 1+0 bullet time control, 128 hash table each, both in original parameters in intel dual core.
Gull 2.3 x64 (+32elo) +30/=71/-19
54.58% 65.5/120
Gull 2.2 x64 (-32elo) +19/=71/-30
45.42% 54.5/120
wow. excellent strength gain!

Gull 2.1 x64 -85 elo +41/=123/-106 37.96% 102.5/270

Has anyone had a problem with running Gull 2.2 or Gull 2.3 under linux+Wine with the hash set to 1024 MB or more? At 1024 MB, the speed is approximately 15 kns on my computer as opposed to approximately 1500 kns when the hash is less than 1000MB . Also, when the hash is set at 2048 MB, Gull becomes unresponsive (will not send 'readyok'). I have 'Large memory pages' set to false since similar options for other engines seem to be incompatible with Wine.

why keep it private? Gull 2.3 is old. People want Gull R600.
