Japanese scoring will be harder to do automatically because of the 
requirement that there are no points in a seki.
At the end of the game, seki are not too difficult to recognize exactly, 
but it is not trivial.  Many Faces does not
recognize all seki exactly at the end of the game, just because I haven't 
put the time in to do it.
