I think Doug hinted that he plans "adjustments" for various scores, but 
I might be wrong.

I assume you mean specialized nets which care only about wins, and 
ignore gammons and such. Not hard, but GNNUbg is not a ideal development 
environment, as it's scripting leave a lot to be desired.

2-3 month's would be my estimate (coding time not included).

Depends. I found that developing a net is tricky. If you follow the 
guidelines in my page you will get there - but there might be better 
ways. This is what worked for me best until now.
