Here at G_6 (an Italian mailing list of chess programmers) we run out tests with
Winboard and a simple batch file:

--- begin multimatch.bat ---
@echo off
pause

echo running match 1...
start /wait winboard.exe -debug -cp -fcp "engine1" -scp "engine2" -sgf
match1.pgn @match.ini
copy winboard.debug match1.debug

echo running match 2...
start /wait winboard.exe -debug -cp -fcp "engine2" -scp "engine3" -sgf
match2.pgn @match.ini
copy winboard.debug match2.debug

echo running match 3...
start /wait winboard.exe -debug -cp -fcp "engine3" -scp "engine1" -sgf
match3.pgn @match.ini
copy winboard.debug match3.debug

REM and so on...

--- end multimatch.bat ---

"match.ini" contains the options regarding time control, number of games... also
contains "/popupExitMessage=false" that allow wb to exit immediatly after the
end of a match without prompting the user with the result.

Hope this helps, Regards
Luca
