I see no problem at all with you releasing this version except the naming of it.
WinBoard/XBoard is not just a program in our community it's also an
implementation of a protocol standard. We wan't other GUI's yo use WinBoard as a
template when delaing with questions of how to deal with both clear and unclear
parts of the protocol.

I think that you have two descent options:
Make a deal with Tim Mann that this is _the_ new version of WinBoard or that
part of the code will be used by WinBoard the next time.
If that's doable or not, give this verison some better name that isn't confusing
and I'm sure that a lot of people will give it a try.
