I'd even say that programming the interface for transmitting the very first 
kind of command is the harder part, once it's done, the rest commands will be 
far easier, just by comparing with other kind of packets. After all, it's 
just rewriting the packets civclient receive from civserver and admitting the 
packets from aiclients, which will simulate mouse and keyboard-actions.

In my opinion, it's one of those C codings that with less effort render more 
benefits. 

By the way,  let's suppose I want to access the last freeciv version, but I'm 
reluctant to use CVS (because bandwith, don't know how to configure CVS), is 
there snapshot .tar.gz somewhere ?
