Beware that Mask format is evolving, and I will not handle backward
compatibility before final release. So expect to lose your work each time I
commit to CVS. Maybe you'd better export your Sor repertoire to game(s) so
you can always re-import this to a Mask.

I added code to trim comments as much as possible. This should help.

ok.

The idea is that it is the position that is important, more than the moves.
This is why I prefer this approach compared to Repertoire or Opening
games/base : it handles transpositions transparently, and it helps to switch
from "sequence of moves memorization" to "get the idea behind a position".

This is why I just added the same symbols as in Repertoire editor "Exclude
line" "Include Line" to the Mask (not in CVS yet).

I would like to avoid user defined parameters, to keep things simple.
