Just an FYI in case you weren't aware: Velasco's "Gull 3.1" is nothing new.
Although it may appear so, (it retains the name 'Gull' and uses the next logical version #)...it's not an official release.
It's a copy of Thinkingalots' original syzygy implementation from a couple years ago, available for download here:

In fact it's a step backward IMO. The 4 (previously) separate large syzygy TB files are now copied into the middle of the already huge and confusing Gull 3 source file,
making it even more difficult to read. In addition, parts of the Mersenne Twister (GPL) random number code has also been copied in.
Other than that, there's no new code as far as I can see.
At least Tom H. is a programmer...and has done some nice work with the codebase.
