SlugGo has only one tree search code. It has evolved, but we have never 
considered one for B and another for W.

I could imagine writing special purpose search codes, perhaps for 
things like ladders, or eye killing/making moves, but SlugGo depends 
upon GNU Go for things like that, so we do not have this concern right 
now.
