BBWin has been designed for compatibility with a Big Brother server.
The Hobbit server is compatible with BB *clients*, but not the other
way around. The Hobbit and BB designs are just fundamentally different,
starting with the fact that Hobbit keeps all configuration files on the
server, whereas BB has configuration files distributed to each and every
client.

Have you tried asking on the BB mailing list ?
