Opengo currently has GnuGo hard coded. Although you can work around that by
changing the code or renaming your executable.
We would eventually like to have a table driven menu, so you could easily
test you program against many other programs, using pipes, modem, and
hopefully in the future IP.    That way when you are tuning your program, it
won't just be taking advantages of bugs in an older version of your program,
but be a better program overall.
