Actually, a linux executable of housebot has no unusual library dependencies. It can be dumped into a directory and run. That's how it worked for the American Go Congress. Even though I've already withdrawn from the tournament, I'll send out an executable of some kind before in the next 6 hours or so. If the tournament director wants the extra competitor, it'll be available, it just may require linux ;)
PS: Thanks everyone for all their attempts to help. I'm going to try and find a developer from the D community with a full windows+tango setup that can help me out.
