There is no production lost in my implementation... I'm not sure
why there would be, except in cases where the client waits several
turns before switching from military unit to building improvement.
I can't think of any good reason for this to occur except when
the user is doing it manually and forgets to switch production.
If your method eliminates this penalty altogether, that would actually
require greater micromanagement, since one would be forced to set up
worklists or lose production.

Anyway, please look at my GTK front end for city plans; it is very
easy to learn and use, so you might be able to use some of the same
GUI code for your server side queues.
