All engines 32-bit except Homer which is 64-bit.

After a week of trying different settings for Glaurung, I now present to you the one I decided on:

"Crusader".

I am prepared to run it in every upcoming tournament so that it gets
a lot of games for inclusion in CCRL 40/40, with the goal of being
stronger than the default Glaurung 1.2.1 32-bit.
