feature request: show rankings in game

[GoogleCodeExporter]

pychess version: stauntun 0.10alpha2

when in internet chess mode (ex., FICS) post the player's respective
ranking next to their name (if they are ranked) when in a match. For
example, If I am playing a game against MortimerBlackwell which is a ranked
computer bot, I see "You vs MortimerBlackwell" at the top. It would be
better read "You vs MortimerBlackwell(2562)"

• Added labels: Type-Enhancement

I have a patch for this which is attached.

Unfortunately, adding title information (FM, C, *, etc.) is not possible 
without a
hack (that I will not post because it's too ugly :)) that involves running a 
finger
command on each player during board initialization. I am working on a 
FICSPlayers
class that keeps track of the players online (title, ratings, etc.) 
automatically and
which ICLounge can also use for the Game and Player lists.

• Changed state: Fixed

This does take up more space in the allready crowded tab-area,
but I agree that it is the best way to add the information for now.
Good patch.
