It seems clear we could add general support for tablebase plugin access to e.g.
Toga, perhaps with the intention of writing a GPL module in the future.  It also
seem ok to write a non-GPL module to do that using Dr. Nalimov's code, if he
gives permission.  I think the definitions (.h file) for that would be too
trivial for copyright, but if necessary that could be published first as BSD
licensed code.  Distributing the two together may be a GPL violation (I think
that issue has not been tested in the courts), but surely if they are only
available separately there could be no legal problem.
