Thats reasonable (I dislike the proliferation of ailevel commands
similarly...)

Here is a modified patch which implements 'rulesout', with the
only current option being 'rulesout techs', but machinery for
adding others.  The main new code is now in a new module 
rulesout.c (instead of techtree.c).

I also decided to move some of the formatting back to techtree,
to make the freeciv output less techtree-specific, and thus 
possibly useful for purposes other than techtree.  The output
of 'rulesout techs' now contains sections like:

[tech_37]
name="Industrialization"
req0="Railroad"
req1="Banking"
effect0="unit: Transport"
effect1="impr: Factory"
effect2="wonder: Women's Suffrage"
effect3="obs-unit: Galleon"
effect4="obs-wonder: King Richard's Crusade"
effect5="special: pop. pollution"
