No way to pause/cancel engine vs engine game

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start an engine vs engine game
2. Try to pause/cancel it

I have a nice example of a game where two engines failed to claim a draw and 
endlessly repeated some moves: http://eloxoph.com/archive/isntthisadraw.pgn

The only way I was able to cancel the game was to close the whole game tab! 
That is odd since I might want to keep it open to examine what exactly happened 
etc. Also there seems to be no way to pause the game.

I guess one way would be to make 'Offer pause' and 'Resign' in the Actions menu 
to work for engine games aswell, although this might be unintuitive and not 
really senseful. Maybe add another entry to the Actions menu that is called 
"Abort automated game" or so that is only visible for engine vs engine games 
(just an idea, I'm not really sure what would be the best way to put this into 
the UI).

What version of the product are you using?
PyChess Staunton 0.10rc1

Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a
tarball/svn?
svn

Enabling abort, pause, resume for engine-engine games seems acceptable for me.
Thomas, Matt, others?
