Yes that will be nice , my twinbot will play in open division

In attachement you find the first draft of this patch, against 3.7.4 which 
corrspond to the twinbot running on kgs.

It is a working draft with a lot of comment for _me_ . It is also my first C 
program, so please be tolerant ;) 
I'm working on a much cleaner version , better order, less uglyness .... 

The only idea is:
- examine position
- find top10 W
- find top10 B
add a bonus if top moves are close, and we are in chuban or yose

This patch is good if games_status > 0.7 or for finding some kind of big moves 
in chuban.

This breaks a lot of regression tests but roughtly seems as good/bad as gnugo.
I ll redo regression test with the new version, synced to 3.7.8 soon :)

Any comment/correction/explaination/fix is welcome.
