Note that it is unlikely that Rybka is a clone because it has a 64 bit version
but the suspect that every new strong program is a clone is because after the
release of Fruit2.1 and Toga1.1 it is too easy to develop strong clones(see
Ryan's Gambit Fruit that is clearly stronger than Fruit2.1 inspite of the fact
that it is not tuned).
