When you get to implementing Swiss, note that in XBoard I delegated making the Swiss pairing to an external 'pairing engine'. XBoard just sends the results of all prior games to the engine as a string of + = - , and the number of a game, and then receives the pairing (e.g. "3-7") for that game back.

Other GUIs could use such a pairing engine too, so they don't have to bother with the nitty-gritty details of Swiss. And the hope is that eventually a pairing engine will be available that implements Swiss "by the book", rather than all the different approximations the various GUIs are using now because the real thing is too complex.
