Wouldn't it be preferable, to write a WB/Xboard interface that does this?
WB-engines post PVs, scores, best moves, etc. Is there anything missing? The
interface could setup the position, and write the output in a style, you prefer.
And it would all be automatically consistent between engines.
If I do a wc epd* in Crafty 17.13 source directory, I get:
6282 15049 111832 epd.c
150 554 5476 epd.h
747 3223 20542 epddefs.h
3515 10075 71995 epdglue.c
37 181 1185 epdglue.h
10731 29082 211030 total
Over 10000 lines. This is a lot of work for every engine programmer. Perhaps
epd.c is generic, but already the glue code is very big.

Dieter
