Can you please explain what "change" and "wrapper" means.

Let me define some:

"core client": packet handling and data structures (which are mostly
coded in common/).

an intermediate client: contains the core client, a GUI and AI-like
support from the agents. This is the form we have now with the CMA.

a full/final/standalone "client-side-AI client": will only contain
agents and the core client.

The idea is to code more agents and piece by piece remove the choices
the human-player can make with the GUI. At some point the human-player
only has the choice to press the "start the game and win" button. At
this point we only have to remove the GUI to get a stand-alone client
AI.

I personally prefer LaTeX.
