I would like to see testing also by winboard, since the protocol is fairly easy
to implement and then Mac programs could play direct matches.

I'm going to differ with your comment on open source, however.  Wouldn't it be
possible for someone to monkey with the source to skew match results?  How do
you ensure that winboard used for testing hasn't been modified?
