Not AFAIK.

Well, that's a decision of a personal nature. If it isn't interesting or
challenging for you then there's no reason to do it. You could say that it would
make your engine more accessible outside WinBoard. Especially by the release of
Shredder 6. But not by much.

A tough question to answer.
