I can probably put together a script which will make .sgf files out of
this with comments.

Some fun issues to contend with:

1) combined rolls - roll 65, reported as 24/13, has to be converted to
   24/18 18/13 for entry in the .sgf file. I have an algorithm I
   worked out last night which examines the board and sets up an array
   to indicate what legal intermediate moves could be used to resolve
   combinations like the above. But I need to refine how it handles
   something like:

   roll 51 move 4/0

2) many games end with resignation by the player not on roll. I'll
   probably just end the game on the last full move
