No.

I did some patches to do that a while back.  Vincent did also and still uses
his.  I didn't release my patches because of the obvious cheating potential,
where you can play a game, log on in another window and let a program observe
and you get analysis with no time lost switching back and forth.  This is why
my custom crafty interface was never released as well.  Cheating is already
far more common that most people believe.  This would make it become even more
common...
