There's 2 things I'd like to see before we release:

1) Instead of having a jaws and non-jaws binaries, I'd like to have just 
one that does JAWS if it finds the jaws dll, otherwise behaving 
regularly.  I mentioned this to HGM in a private email, but haven't 
heard back.  I can do this fairly quickly though.

2) create a small gui-script to act as a startup dialog for xboard.  
This I don't know how to do, but someone else might, and it can't be 
that hard.  Basically something that works like winetricks if you've 
ever seen that in action.
