Thank you.

That's an excellent point, but the problem is more than just the interface.  
I believe the game mechanics has to be modified in order to allow for 
playing styles other than ICS.  That's why I wrote this patch.  It is not 
the end of the story and more changes are surely needed.  Of course, I am 
not trying to take away anybody's choice to play ICS -- there will always be 
that option if you want to.
