I prepared a Polygot version that behaves exactly as I want it, optimalized for WinBoard 4.4.0. Basically it is Michel's 1.4.38b version, with two additions: I suppress the sending of option features for all options that I consider damaging or undesirable for a WinBoard engine (and re-ordered the remaining options so they pack more compactly in the Engine-Settings dialog). And I export the name of the IniFile, and provided an option that makes Polyglot save the current settings on this file. I named this version Polyglot 2.0.38b, and want to distribute it with the WinBoard 4.4.0 installer.
The question is how we should distribute it for XBoard. And as Polyglot is GPL'd, we would have to provide source as well. Can we put a source tar ball of it on the GNU XBoard homepage?
