We'd be happy to support your efforts if we can, though
our main emphasis is necessarily on improving the engine.

Can you send us a patch implementing this as you want it?

The reason that GNU Go 2.6 was ported to WinCE and not 3.0 is that
2.6 uses a lot less resources. While 3.2 uses less resources than
2.6 it still needs a lot more RAM.
