Hmmm... The engines seem to go ok too, except when adding variations, when null move is *at var end or game end*.

I had a quick look at fixing it, but the code in addAnalysisVariation is a little complicated anyway, so i've just overhauled the variation/null-move doco instead (and added a note for the new "Paste Variation" feature too.)

I *did* notice that [sc_game info previousMoveUCI]
returns (for eg) "e8e8" - ie King move-to-same-square, which must be how it's represented somewhere.
