I should perhaps also add that I implemented UCI mostly without being able
to test it myself.  I do all development in MacOS X and Linux, and have no
UCI-compatible GUI in which I could test UCI mode.  I had to rely on
some very helpful beta testers in order to get bug reports and solve
UCI-related problems.  Despite this, UCI mode was easier to implement than
xboard mode.
