[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27687] [FR] fallback to GNU Chess if Fairymax not found

[Michael Shigorin]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #27687 (project xboard):

It might be an option for a few well-known (and expected) cases; that way, if
some supported engine *is* installed, the user gets it since presumably the
engine was installed on purpose; and if not, the default route should really
be going -ics way and not popping up a message to be googled down in FAQ.

If there are a few engines, using the first one found seems logical (guess
the list might start with fairymax as per your explanation).

I can propotype in shell what I mean, would it make a better bugreport then?
