The main problem is that CM is so much "integrated" that you cannot just feed it
some moves from a command line.

I think it is theoretically possible to "hack" any program that allows
command-line input into running under Winboard, but it would probably require a
lot of skills and experimenting (one program calling another, parsing input to
and from, etc.).

But for CM, I seriously doubt it. :)
