I actually had meant it the other way round. That is, implement a GTP
controller into Kombilo. Then this would check via special GTP commands
whether GNU Go would accept the constraint of the pattern. I.e., it would
have to do a similar job as mkpat.c, and translate the pattern constraints
into s.th. evaluatable via GTP.

This would be very GNU Go-specific, so it's on topic here I suppose.
What would be needed is GTP-equivalents of all autohelper functions listed
int the array autohelper_functions[] in mkpat.c (lines 177 following).
