Subject: Porting engines to Pocket PC/Palm OS ?

Hi all,
I wonder how difficult it is to change current chess engines in a way that they
can be used in GUIs for Pocket PC or for Palm?

So far, only CE Board (different Crafty's, probably Homer in the future) and
PocketGrandmaster (Gromit, Ruffian, SOS) have the ability to use different
engines. I think it would be nice to have a way of importing UCI and winboard
engines into such GUIs. There are already some engines used in other Pocket PC
programs (e.g. ChessTiger, Hiarcs, Naum, Gnuchess, AxChess and others).

Do the engines have to be modified a lot to be used in Windows for Pocket PCs?
Maybe somebody can think of something; it would really be nice to use Fruit,
ProDeo, Anmon and all the other engines on the PDA.

Curious..
Axel
