I think you may be able to make the programs that have user adjustable
evaluation weights behave as if they were just a piece-square (+material?)
program.

You can certainly do this with Green Light.  If you want to know how, I can give
you more details.  Basically, you are able to set all the evaluation constants
for things you are not interested in to zero.  They will still be calculated by
the program, but they won't change the evaluation.

I've modified an evaluation file for GLC215c to zero everything except the
material eval and the piece-square tables:

Cheers, Tim.
