You can also use GoGui and its GTP-to-GMP bridge to take part in tournaments that require the GMP protocol.
could perhaps add something along the lines of
...and it is probably easier to implement GTP and use this (or a similar) bridge, rather than implement GMP directly in the engine.
(ie even if it's actually GMP you want, it's probably easier to implement it by implementing GTP)
Well there is a little bit of an issue with the GTP-to-GMP bridge, It requires a java module for accessing the serial port, which a) doesn't seem to be part of the standard Java installations, b) isn't even officially supported under Linux (can be installed using some wrappers around the solaris versions of the module).
Maybe Markus Enzenberger can correct me if I am wrong.
It's probably still easier than implementing GMP, but...
