To address this problem, have you ever thought to integrate the server into
... the client ?

I do not mean to integrate the server code into the client's one, but allow a
player to launch a civserver from within the client (with a fork) and control
it through the client. I think the client server is one of the biggest
problem non network-knowledged poeple have when they start to use freeciv.
