What is complicated about starting up a local copy of GNU Go (or some
other program that's usually correct about scoring), feed it the
position, and issue a final_status_list command?

As I wrote the last time this came up, if you don't trust the scoring
engine, do play until all dead opponent stones have been removed. Also
the TD should be able to override the scoring engine in the rare cases
that it's wrong.
