Though it's not well documented, the gamelist column for 'Country' is
merely the last three letters of the game's 'Site' field.
This setup seems to be a defacto of sorts in PGN, though i'm not terribly
knowledgable about it.

Scid's Site Spellchecking tool does a reasonable job of adding these three
letters to the Site. eg
"Baku"    >> "Baku AZE" (505)
"Baltimore"    >> "Baltimore, MD USA" (1)
"Banja Luka"    >> "Banja Luka BIH" (18)
"Barcelona"    >> "Barcelona ESP" (83)
"Barcelona (Spain)"    >> "Barcelona ESP" (3)

Anyway, I have added this to doco ... but i'm wondering if we should
enforce this a little in the gamelist. A simple test i can think of , if
the 3rd last letter is not capitalized, don't display the country field.
Another option would be - if the fourth last letter is not a space.

Is 'Country' found/used anywhere else in ScidvsPC beside the gamelist. ?
