SOmething like that has been done on the Crafty mailing list.
I'm off the list for a while, so maybe it's still going on there.

As for the sense of it:
it is a different chess bench mark than the Rebel one as far as CPU dependance
is concerned:
Rebel seems to profit from AMD's CPUs more than from Intel's while for Crafty
it's the other way around. My Pentium Pro smokes the K6 at the same clock rate
with Crafty's bench while it is inferior to it at the Rebel benchmark.

The biggest advantage of the Crafty benchmark is that it can be run on almost
any system in the world because Crafty compiles on so many platforms.
With Rebel, you can't possibly compare a 600 MHz Alpha to a Pentium III-550, a
PowerPC G3-450 and a Sun Ultrasparc etc...
