Maybe i missed point of your post. In corr. games for lot of players is not
problem use more computers for analysing position. Then is not problem 1PC-Rybka
calculate best line, 2PC-Rybka(or other engine) calculate n-best lines and
3PC-engine use deep analysis in Fritz-GUI or similiar in ChessAssistant... But
still output in *.txt (from Fritz GUI) will be very nice feature (as minimum for
possible crash GUI and losing analysis)
