Actually I was confused; spies stealing tech is done in
the same place as diplomats stealing tech, and already 
had the railroad effect.  

The extra fix I put in, which didn't previously handle
the railroad effect, was for unit_func.c:get_a_tech(),
which is called if you conquer or incite a city.

Thanks for making me look at this again!
