For those without snowie, this feature shows the analysis (in the pane 
at the side of the board) after a decision is made, the dice have to be 
clicked to carry on.  You can set which players and which decisions are 
shown and what level of analysis is carried out.

I doubt it would be too hard to do, perhaps it should be added to the 
todo list?  On a related note the todo list seems a bit out of date...
