[computer-go] Re: To debug game-end protocol.

["William M. Shubert" <wms@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The game-end algorithm that I proposed has not yet been implemented.
There was some debate about it, and at the moment I'm pretty tied up
with the next release of KGS, so I didn't have time to properly test it
anyway. My apologies if that was not clear.
