Such a GUI would be GREAT!!!!! *thinks about registrating 100 fake-accounts and
support this thread* (just joking, admins! ;)

Btw: there is already a chessengine together with a wonderful GUI for OSX
available. (http://www.schubert-it.com/vektor3/) Unfortunately, it uses
Apple-events to communicate, as far as I know. (and the interface engine/GUI may
not be public atm) The author considered implementing xboard-protocol support in
the future, but that's quite a while ago. I mailed him yesterday (after the
Ruffian2 announcement for OSX) to investigate whether he still considers the
idea.
