I would really like to see someone (not me ;) write an ICC relayer.

Thomas over at the winboard forum has done something similar with VB and
specialized client/server programs, but I think it would make more sense (and be
more cross platform, plus we all already have ICS clients) to put it on ICC.
Another possibility would be a mod to Xboard/Winboard, with similar purpose.  I
do not think it would be that hard - a few weeks work possibly.
