Very nice! 

Doing this from the save files is nice, but presumably you could
also use your gamelog output as data to use to generate the 
animation?  (With the advantages that you then get a turn-by-turn 
display, and don't have to keep the save files around.)

One somewhat related thing that I think would be nice would be
to be able to specify a ouput name in the server, which the 
server then uses as a filename prefix for: auto-save games, 
scorelog, gamelog, etc.
