Hi

I would recomend to make a 2in1 Version. Build an Engine that supports WB AND
UCI. If you use (or let use) an adapter there will be a point with complains
about it and if you have a bug you never know if it is the adaptor (maybe not
your own) or your engine.

If you allready programed an adapter it should be no problem to implement that
inside your engine.

Bye Ingo
