His 'civpow' program generates an animated GIF similar to Civ I's replay
map; a C port (based on the Freeciv source) is available from

This is in fact a full Freeciv, but the interesting changes are in the
new util/ subdir, where you can build the 'gamereport' program.  It
only generates the .ppm maps; you still need a modified civpow (also
available there) to generate the animated GIF.  'gamereport' can also
generate a civscore.log from savefiles.

A Linux binary (which may happen to work for you) and some examples are
available from the same directory.

The patch is rough at the edges; for example, it links in the full
server/*.o code, which really shouldn't happen.   I have offered it
to Jake Kesinger but he hasn't replied.
