No.  _only_ the book learning code.  Not the "book code" itself.  They
first have to write some sort of interface to their own book format, then
port the book learning code back into the engine, away from the GUI.  It
wouldn't be 10 minutes worth of work I wouldn't think...

Am addressing _both_ of them.  The first is simply porting Fritz from
windows to unix on an x86 machine.  Non-trivial.  The second is porting
from X86 to MIPS (or another vendor).  Way more non-trivial.
