I'll take a final poll - speak now or forever hold your peace!

Should we:

  1.  Give white N-1 stones at end of game.  (where N = handicap)
  2.  Give white N stones at end of game.  (N = handicap)
  3.  Give white N stones except handicap 1 case.
  4.  Not worry about giving white anything but the appropriate
      handicap stones.

Option 4 seems a lot cleaner and is WYSIWYG at end of game along
with komi of course.

I vote for 2 because that is what KGS does, and that is how I have implemented handicap in my program.

It has already been said already, but I insist: what we need is a GTP command to tell the program what are the rules of the game. I would be glad to implement such a command, and would not care about the compensation method, then.
