I fully understand what Ed is saying and haven't missed the point.  You're right
the GUI isn't the problem for Ed - it's a problem for his potential customers.
If sales fall too much due to lack of Windows GUI then Ed may not have the
resources to continue developing the engine.  As for Winboard or UCI this may be
Ed's only solution but it's hardly ideal and the most a Winboard engine has sold
for is Gandalf 4.32 at $30 - no huge money.
