Yes, separate runs would be needed. On the other hand the local owl
variant should be faster since fewer variations should be generated.
It would be reasonable to have a smaller node limit. Obviously there's
also no need to run the usual owl code on a dragon which already has
been found to be locally alive.

An interesting idea is to take the local status into account when
computing the escape values for the usual owl reading. Maybe we then
could avoid running towards dead stones.
