Would it make more sense to drop ASCII mode support entirely, and instead turn the current ASCII code into a fully separate front end, which talks to GNU Go via GTP? This would have the added benefit of allowing GUI-less users to make effective use of other GTP engines, without those engine authors having to write an ASCII interface.
