I think that that discussion caused me to work on puppeteer project
you can check out: 
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv/incoming/puppeteer.patch.cvs-Dec-02_0.005.gz
for the prototype of such an interface.

This is the textual "command line" interface to civclient.
where you can issue commands like 

move 103 south -- to move unit 103 south 
ls cities -- to get the list of all cities.
e.t.c.

This version is 3 month old now. I dont have nmuch time to work on it,
but please play with it. It can be a good start for your project or
can be useless. I dont know. Your critical responce would be greatly 
appreciated.

I think you will not be able to apply this patch as is to the current cvs 
snapshot,
but you can take cvs snapshot from Dec 02 2003 from ftp.freeciv.org and apply 
the patch 
easily.
