i don't think it needs to be rewritten in C, but if anyone wants to
that's fine by me, the data files are the important bit.

I don't think the server could handle the ruleset being redefined once
the game has run.  Anyway the script writes out the rulesets to a
directory, and maybe this way a cool ruleset can be saved to be
replayed.

The icons for new units would best be handled by ESR's idea of each icon
being it's own file in a dir tree. Has this been done??

Anyway attached is the script, it needs work ( see the BUGS file ), and
i don't think a game can be played with it yet, but it's close and it's
interesting to play with.
