afaik, gnugo testsuite (based on a previous one) is not totally suitable
 for MC programs, as some position are dead lost / clear win but shows
 gg misbehavior. 
Some part should be re-usable, at least as a validation of simple
known L&D position for example.
Some times ago i tested a new (so weak) program on gg tests, it passed
less than 25%, when gg is above 65%.

It would nice to know the results of various programs on this suite,
and see what happens. 

Probably this would lead to filter out many tests, and help gnugo team
to improve relevancy of the test suite ?

Thats why its a big task to set up a test suite (and we should start
 now). Strong programs should have better results than weak ones ;-)
