Looking into creating a Native Client port of GnuChess

Hello Simon, et al,

I wanted to let you all know that I've created a clone of GnuChess 5.08 on
github (see https://github.com/heisencoder/gnuchess) and am investigating
the feasibility of porting this program to Native Client (see
http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient), or NaCl for short.

NaCl is a new technology that allows a web browser (currently Google Chrome
only) to securely run code that is compiled directly for the native
processor (like x86).  This allows universal portability on all platforms
(Linux, Mac, Windows) by only compiling the code once, and giving it a
portable JavaScript front-end.

NaCl is currently in early alpha phases, so things will likely change in the
near future.  Currently, there is no support for File I/O access, so part of
the porting effort is to remove these dependencies.

Cheers,
-Matt
