It seems to me that the client must can have its own opinion of
life and death, independent of GNU Go's opinion. The client
queries GNU Go as to the status of stones, but if the user
overrides these, then it takes the user's word that GNU
Go is wrong. (Which at the end of the game will not be
often.)

Then the client will count the game rather than asking
GNU Go to count it. This is easy to implement.
