I put up a patch implementing this change at:

In this case it seems that the gtp function matcher_status should
replace dragon_status. (Of course it would be renamed.) After the
patch matcher_status_3_6.2 allowing it to take a parameter its
functionality includes that of dragon_status.

One issue is that as written matcher_status returns statuses in
uppercase while dragon_status returns statuses in lowercase. We
would have to standardize this. 

It seems better to me to use uppercases.

The gtp function dragon_status is used in ld_owl.tst and a few
other regressions. Where else is it used? 

I think it is not used by gnugoclient but the gtp function
gtp_final_status_list is used, and that function returns
statuses in lowercase.
