I don't think there is an easy way to provide mate announcements to winboard
or xboard at present (Tim?).  IE the "STAT" output has information about the
score, nodes, etc...  but there isn't a way (that I know of) to send a pure
Mat23 type score if I read the docs right a while back.  IE scanf() would
not handle it correctly.

It would make a good addition to be able to add some sort of announcement in
the analysis window, such as "Mate in 23" or "draw" or whatever...
