Not sure about a GTK widget - ideally the code should work for text
output as well, we can just make up an interface on the lines of:

BoardDisplay(chequer positions, cube value/pos, dice value/pos, player
on roll) - Show the specified position
BoardShowMove(move made) - Move the specified chequers
BoardGetMove() - Get move input from user
BoardStartMove() - Cube or roll decision from user
BoardDiceRolled(dice value) - Show dice roll

The 3d drawing code is quite distinct, I'll take a look at this (might
have a bit of time this weekend).  Will be easier to see where the
problems might be when I start hacking at the code...
