hi

It does change the komi, which is 0.5 at "one handi" instead of 5.5 (or 
whatever we want).
Before it was jumping from 0 to 2 handi which is very big difference.

With the patch the changes are smoother, with a step at 0 handi:
2 handi
1 handi
0 handi (komi = 5.5 or whatever we say)
0 handi again with switched colors 
1 handi
2 handi

before it was
2 handi
0 handi
2 handi with switched colors

I did this to test my twinpatch-3.7.4 against GNU Go 3.7.8.
As it is nearly the same engine, the difference is small, so i needed a smooth 
change to see what happens:
 with -a3 (3 consecutive win to adjust handi)
 gg378 was white
 twin became white at game 18, and is still W at game 106, handi 0 again
  (with a very short stage giving 3 handi to gg3.7.8)

Well this is just a proposal. With the view.pike i have now the perfect tools 
for my investigations in the wondefull world of GNU Go.
