Correct, the nogui version can do almost the same the GUI. Only a very
few things are no implemented in the CLI interface (such as the
temperature map, which we could do with ascii graphics instead).


Perhaps we should allow the use of glib in the non-GTK part of gnubg, at
the expense of less portability. I'm slightly in favour of it. If it
turns out to be a problem or if someone wants to build a gnubg with a
very small footprint we may extract the relevant parts of glib (assuming
we use a small subset of glib). Currently, we can only allow the use of
glib 1.2 functions.

What's the opinion from the other developers?
