That is exactly the advantage, the user do not have to install anything
special for each particular engine in any file. Protocol II deals automatically
with differences in features through the "feature" and "accept/reject" command.
My question was inspired because you mention that you implement a new feature.
That might be a good chance to take full advantage of protocol II.

Do you use "edit" command rather than "setboard"? that is, together with the
introduccion of usermove and SAN the most important changes.
For instance, you can take advantage of the protocol and support only setboard
if you want.

Miguel
