Does GNU Chess 5.07 compile and run nicely?

Cough ignoring the issue with GCC v4 (just delete the iffy
"input_thread" prototype it complains about).

It ought to be just "uint64_t" but you'd be surprised how much work went
into getting uint64_t to work, and Neil probably needs to be compatible
with GNU Cash.

I believe GNU Cash runs on more platforms than GNU Chess, so they might
need to do even more just to get uint64_t everywhere. Getting a portable
uint64_t was hard work, fortunately more platforms will have C99 by now.

Hey long time no see.
