Hi,

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but I think it would be much easier to just
provide winboard support for your engine
(http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html) than to somehow make your
engine mimic winboard's behaviour for some other program. Surely the latter
would involve you doing much of the work that winboard does anyway. Why bother?
