yes...

already is...

with some work, as it was written way before there was an xwindows, or an
xboard/winboard protocol... but that could be added.  But the _real_ issue
is who would supply a Cray to use to play on ICC, when they sell for 30-60
million dollars?

That is what led to crafty and PCs...  the inability to get significant time
on a cray to run reasonable tests..
