I hated this too, so I made a small "quick and dirty" update to gunan.c.
The three lines of code:

       flag.force = 0;
       SelectMove (computer, 1);
       Undo ();

appears twice in gnuan.c (from line 825 and 871 in the distribution I have).

In both cases I have replaced them with:

       if( s[ strlen( s ) - 1 ] == '#' )
         s[ strlen( s ) - 1 ] = 0;
       else {
         flag.force = 0;
         SelectMove (computer, 1);
         Undo ();
       }

This has the effect that moves suffixed with # in the input file aren't
analyzed, they are just entered.
