Popeye seems to want to start as black always, and I haven't found a way to fix
that ('option halfduplex' seems to be ignored), so if you have an atob problem
that starts with white to move, mirror and flip colours, and everything should
work fine.

To solve 1. a4 a6 2. a5 as an atob-problem:

begin
fors rsbqkbsr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RSBQKBSR
stip a=>b1.5
fors rsbqkbsr/1ppppppp/8/8/p7/P7/1PPPPPPP/RSBQKBSR
end
