[Computer-go] Running automated bot matches?

[James Pettit]

I've used gomill (http://mjw.woodcraft.me.uk/gomill/). It's a collection of
python scripts to automate running tests. The tournaments are organized by
defining a control file that's just pure python, which is nice. I believe
one of the common programs (libego or fuego maybe) have scripts for running
gtp games as well.
