I honestly don't know what they do.  IE did they add winboard protocol support
to their GUI?  Or did they modify Crafty to emit their protocol?  No idea.  I
never volunteered to try to support their protocol since we see enough changes
in xboard protocol as it evolves.  Supporting two sounds like more than twice
the work. :)
