0001 Special Freecell Automove rule:
0002 
0003 Sometimes, we don't want to take a card out, even though we can.  For
0004 example, if this is the 3S, and either the 2D or 2H are still around, then
0005 the 3S could be considered active.  There are two rules that have been
0006 proposed, Horne's and Raymond's.  We use the latter, since it has better
0007 average performance.
0008 
0009 Horne: All 'A's play home immediately, all '2's play home if the same-suit
0010 'A' is already there, an 'N' plays home if the same-suit 'N-1' and both
0011 'N-1's of the opposite color are already home.
0012 
0013 Raymond:
0014 N plays home if:
0015 same-suit N-1 is already home
0016 AND
0017 {both opposite-color (N-1)s are already home
0018  OR
0019  {both opposite-color (N-2)s are already home
0020   AND
0021   same-color other-suit (N-3) is already home}
0022 }
0023 
0024 Horne's rule:
0025         if (!Same_suit) {
0026                 for (i = 1 - (o & 1); i < 4; i += 2) {
0027                         if (O[i] < rank(card) - 1) {
0028                                 w_can_out[w] = 0;
0029                                 break;
0030                         }
0031                 }
0032         }
0033 
0034 Xparam[]
0035 0       removing a card from a pile containing a needed card
0036 1       additional priority if the needed card is being uncovered
0037 2       penalty for covering a needed card
0038 3       W -> empty W
0039 4       W -> non-empty W
0040 5       T -> non-empty W
0041 6       T -> empty W
0042 7       W -> T
0043 8       irreducible move
0044 9       boolean; negative => newer piles first
0045 
0046 Some possible additional parameters (from Atkinson and Holstege's paper):
0047 king from either T or W -> empty W (in both -k and -a variants)
0048         (while W -> empty W might have a negative weight, this could
0049         be positive; it might help in some cases)
0050 king -> non-empty W
0051 removing a card from a column with one card in it
