Faerie is up

I believe I have overcome all the remaining hurdles to making Faerie compatible with the bot ladder. So now, I have left three copies of Faerie running:
bot_Faerie is essentially unic's Fairy, unmodified, running on Omar's server.
bot_FaerieP1 and bot_FaerieP2 use the same eval with a simpler search algorithm, depth-limited to 4 steps and 8 steps respectively. They are running on my server at home.
The depth-limited versions are coded to quit and return the best-yet move when 95% of their turn time is up. bot_FaerieP2 inevitably uses all of that time each turn; it is pretty slow compared to Bomb or Arimaazilla. However, I believe it plays much worse than bot_Faerie despite using the same eval and time, because the full Faerie uses a whole host of clever search optimizations that seem to make a big difference.
I have left all three running so that the community can gain some experience with them. Enjoy.
