Tablebase generation on the fly - Part2

I worked a bit more on the generation algorithm and was able to speed it up a bit more. The generation time for the KPK table was reduced from 171 ms to 31 ms. This is now fast enough to generate all 3men tables at engine startup.

I integrated the code into iCE and removed the built-in tables. On my i7 the complete generation takes 78 ms, which I consider acceptable. On a slower system and as as 32 bit code it takes an also acceptable 125 ms.


Surprisingly the difference between the debug and the release version of the code is about factor 40. I cannot really explain why it is so big.
