It's uniquely different from numerous other softwares in that it is 
completely open source and runs from a standard Python installation (but 
of course one has to get a Gnugo executable from somewhere). I also 
implemented reading and writing SGF files and browsing through the move 
history now.

Total command set at the moment:

-click on a coordinate: generate a move there and go out of replay mode
-space bar: computer makes a move and goes out of replay mode
-up key: save an SGF file (only the moves)
-down key: read an SGF file
-left key: go into replay mode and undo a move
-right key: show next move, if at end goes out of replay mode

Remember we're still only talking about a proof of concept script! I 
just want to attract people, and put this script into an SVN somewhere.
