Hmm. I know you can already autoannoate a game. But as for how to 
integrete this to the opening report...

The simplest way to do this I guess is when a opening book report is 
generated you can choose to set a default engine to analyse for say 30 
seconds and the best line and score will be reflected in the opening report.

Simple to do, but not much use really.Since you can just generate a opening 
report, and run crafty at the same time in scid , but i guess it looks nicer if it's 
reflected in the opening report. 

More complicated idea

Perhaps some way of auto-analysing and storing the evalutions of chess 
engines within the tree table itself. Much like the learning in crafty, the score 
stored will include depth searched (and/or maybe time) and score. 

Might be useful to detect gross blunders in the tree and mark those with a ?

Perhaps even make this file portable, so people can trade files..

In fact, this reminds me of CAP project (led by Dann Corbit) which has 
analysed millions of openings positions using Chess engines like Rebel.Crafty
might be one possibility. Chess Assistant already supports this, not sure if 
SCID does..
