You don't need GMP.  In fact, you should not use it no matter what.

There is a newer protocol, called GTP which has much more features, which is way
easier to implement, which is extensible, human readable and human writeable.
GNU Go also comes with several scripts (`interface/gtp_examples/twogtp*) to play
two different engines (programs) against each other over GTP.

Have a look at GNU Go's implementation of GTP in files `interface/gtp.[ch]' and
`interface/play_gtp.c'.  Files `gtp.[ch]' are available under X11-style license,
which allows reusage in your program almost without limitations.

For information on GTP have a look at official specification (it's marked as
draft, but that's not something to worry about):
