I haven't heard of any such program. If I would have the time (never
enough!) to do it, I would start from OpenGo or GnuGo, they should have all
the necessary pieces in place. Instead of writing all the basic mechanics
and accessories (display, save/load...), you would only need to figure out
how to reuse those parts.

Good luck, and keep us posted!
