I have such a utility. However: (i) I only have a compiled version for Linux.
(It's a Flex/Bison thing). (ii) The parser is pretty lame. (iii) it prepends
1-0, 1/2 or 0-1, depending on what the result was. (iv) You can't get a fixed
number of moves. You get all the moves in the game.

Is that what you want? Let me know if you want it and I'll see how best to
send it to you.
