The background image rendering method now works for every shape of board or
cell. I have also added two more 'shapes.' One is a 'Custom Grid'
shape. This lets you use a customized grid in which you get to set the x
and y intervals between ranks and files. It is good for square,
rectangular, hexagonal, triangular, and other boards. The other is a
'Custom' shape. This lets you give an absolute position to each space of
the board. Instead of relying on ranks and files, it associates the
Forsythe code with spaces in the order that they are listed in the
Positions field. Both of these new shapes require the background image
rendering method. Neither will work with automatically generated boards.
Both make use of CSS absolute positioning to place pieces over a board
that is provided as a background image.

I changed the origin point for Custom boards from the lower left to the top
left corner. This is to bring it in line with what counts as (0,0) for
images in graphics programs. This will make it easier to use a graphics
program as an aid when custom designing the positions of a board. Further
details are given in the Developer's Guide.
