Dear diary, on Fri, Dec 07, 2001 at 02:17:10AM CET, I got a letter,
where Raahul Kumar <raahul_da_man@xxxxxxxxx> told me, that...

Obviously. Cleanups are top priority. This TODO is meant rather as stock for
various ideas about what should be implemented/fixed in the AI, and I don't
expect doing that all by myself by any rate! :-)

Basically I mean that THRESHOLD should be always multiplied by either move_rate
or SINGLE_MOVE (imho).

Can you please specify where?

I sent small patch adding a comment to #define THRESHOLD already before, IIRC.
It will get in with my cleanup patches I think.

Ok.

If m is used in two different ways, I would probably recommend using two 
different
variables.

Fine.
