Hmm, I wonder if it is worthwhile to have the added complexity
of multiple required techs for governments?   (Just what you've
done so far, I'm not sure what you mean by complementrary techs?)

The default governments only have one required tech each, or
none (eg could use A_NONE), and this is similar to units,
buildings which have a single required tech.  Will anyone
actually want to have more than one required tech for governments?

I guess one could say that its easy enough to support the
extra generality, but it does make various things more complicated
later on, eg, packets, dynamic help, AIs, ...

Maybe it is worthwhile (and maybe units and buildings should 
also be allowed multiple techs), but I'm not sure.
