Hi!

For those of you who use a) cvs version and b) correspondence chess:

I did some rewriting of the cc windows game list population in order to 
allow for postal games. This means the following:

- Now additional game headers might be read from the database games and 
not only from the games in your inbox. Ie. if you set WhiteCountry / 
BlackCountry in the database you'll also get the flags displayed in CC 
gamelist, even if those tags are not supplied via Xfcc (e.g. ICCF does 
not provide them.) This required a bit of rewriting of the update code 
which came with some code cleanup and performance improvement.

- Scid builds the CC game list by reading the input from your data/Inbox 
directory. (See docs about this.) Now, you may set the mode of a game in 
the header to "Postal". In this case Scid will not update the game from 
the Inbox anymore but show it in CC gamelist provided a suitable PGN 
exists. Note that the Mode header in the database takes precedence to 
the PGN header in your Inbox. (In a postal event I play right now I get 
an empty game via ICCF's Xfcc interface.)

- I'm working on postcard printing which will use the two header tags 
WhiteAddress / BlackAddress to populate the cards properly. However, 
this will take a bit as I've no really nice class for the postcard yet. 
My first quick & dirty version works already for me but its nothing to 
be distributed. ;)

Please drop me a note if I broke anything.
