I doesn't send new before every move.

I remembor a few minor problems. I think the GUI had sometimes problems,
when my engine resigned. Also, it can send new, while the engine ponders
(because the user want's to start a new game). This does not happen
in Winboard/Xboard, and so some engines might not be prepared to handle
new while pondering. I guess, that these small problems will be solved
in the next release.
