Hi Thomas !

Well, the new version of UCI support a analyze mode:

// if the engine supports the "UCI_AnalyseMode" option and the next search is
supposed to
// be an analysis, the GUI should set "UCI_AnalyseMode" to true if it is
currently
// set to false with this engine
setoption name UCI_AnalyseMode value true

Homer support this too, but at the moment there a no gui avaible which support
this nice feature.
