By forcing moves, i found a mate in 22, but not sure if it's correct. My machine is too slow too find a mate from this position. Perhaps someone with a faster machine could verify my line -

Re: How long to find h4?
Stockfish on my Q9550 needs 11 seconds to find it and give it +3.5.
At depth 25 score is +18 which means there is likealy a mate in a few more moves.
BTW engine disagrees disagrees with the second move of your line. For me it is 1. h4 Qe6 which gives one extra move.

Re: How long to find h4?
My machine is not fast enough either to calculate a mate, but I'm glad that Rainbow Serpent can find h4, with a lot of luck involved and some tweaks. The branching factor was not so good so I had to break off the search before the 18th ply.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Re: How long to find h4?
Here's what Stockfish-1.6.3 (8 threads) gives through depth 35. No mate is declared. Note that the pv given at depth 35 is 57 half-moves long.David Dahlem wrote:[D]5k2/1K1P1p2/5Pp1/pp1p4/3P4/4q2P/4P3/8 w - - 0 1
By forcing moves, i found a mate in 22, but not sure if it's correct.

Re: How long to find h4?
I do not get a really high score for 1.h4 here (also the low score for 1.d8Q is strange) but this may be due to the low depth. I stopped the search here because of the extremely high EBF.

Re: How long to find h4?
The result from Stockfish is very good, will be vey hard to improve I think. With 6 men EGTBs it would probably have seen a way to mate too, but that is not so very important. The win after h4 is pure tactics so I think that Luca's program just needs more depth if you want a higher score. Positional evaluation does not make much difference but it is easy to miss why h4 is good if you don't look deep. If the branching factor is not so good, or there is not much hash space it is easy to find h4 only very late. I got several versions that did not see h4 after 40 minutes if you spent too much time on d8Q+ as first move.
This was the best version:
