It's easy to take this out of the client.   I think I have it in because
RESIGN is a legitimate GTP move and part of the standard.   And some
programs log the games for themselves,  there would be no way to log a
complete games without this information - you would have an incomplete
game record that just stops for no known reason.

But I think this has been in there a long time - at least for the newer
CGOS server.   

Let me think about this a bit.  Perhaps I can add a command line switch
to the client to prevent sending the last move if it is resign.    Even
though GTP says it's a "move" there might be other programs that don't
understand it.
