Sunfish 2014.03.07 (WB)
Python source; requires Python interpreter (to run: 'python xboard.py')
- no actual version number, I'm arbitrarily using date of last source-code change
- to Ruxy: since xboard.py actually works without editing, this engine has been removed from the source-code-only list and 'promoted' to the main engine list
