Emulation of Analyze Mode shouldn't be too difficult for any front end GUI,
with the commands any Winboard engine must support. Just level and go
should be enough. The only thing missing would be the (3/30) display, when
the program searches the 3rd of 30 legal moves.

I think, the Winboard adapter tries to emulate analysis mode, when the program
doesn't support it (AnalyzeMode = False in the adapter init file). It just
sends a ridiciously high time control. At least one version of the adapter
I tried did some funny things though, like sending "time 3600*100". The
asterix is neither documented in Tim Mann's description of the Winboard
protocol, nor in the ChessBase documentation of the adapter.
