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

[Michael Shigorin]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #27687 (project xboard):

> and have the xboard package require that
Local engine isn't actually *required*, as I was corrected in my age-old
assumptions.  Otherwise, yes, at least on RPM side you're right.

But that's quite another side of the story, I was wondering whether it's
really neccessary to route people through error messages and FAQ, or just find
something to use (presenting the user with the choice of *locally existing*
engines is ok, maybe if only one item left to choose it could be
auto-chosen).

PS: wrt forking, I understand that it's pretty undesirable, of course. 
Thanks!
