Joker80 is supposed to do (b). But of course the FEN first has to pass
through WinBoard before it is handed to Joker. This version of WinBoar
doesn't necessarily require Rooks in the corners to castle with, as I
could imagine there would exist variants that had some other piece there,
with which you could castle. (Just like Knightmate allows Rooks to castle
with the Royal Knight.) 

Allowing empty squares to castle was a very bad idea, though.

I am not sure what the problem was. The link did not work (website was
down?) when it was first posted, and when I look now, it points to a Smirf
game.
