You are free to implement these at your leisure.  That's why it comes with
source.  You're supposed to play around with it and learn from it.  At least
that is my impression of its purpose.

It already interfaces with winboard, although it does not implement all of
Winboard's command set.

The make file for MS VC++ is trivial.  Anyway, I think its a jim-dandy toy for
tinkering around with.
