You can effectively do some of this this already by providing a 
"server commands" file, and then telling people to use 
   "civserver -r mymod.serv"
(Eg, see data/civ1.serv)

I guess for convenience "-r" (and "-f"?) should look in the data 
path.  And I guess the default data path should also include "."
