Yes such a protocol is missing. I have no idea however how much it cost to change winboard so that it supports all this. If it can play gothic chess then I am already happy. If I am not wrong then Arena already supports already FRC. Maybe the protocol that is used there to support this variation is not so bad to adopt also in winboard.
