 Nope, I just started to generalize requirements. In fact I have been
working with units requirements, but when finished it should be quite easy 
to use same system with tech and building requirements.

 Finally it should look something like:

requirements =
   { "type",      "value"
     "Tech",      "Alphabet"
     "Tech",      "Gun Powder"
     "Goverment", "Fundamentalism"
   }

 By default all requirements are needed ("and"), but I'll implement "or"
and "not" also. Should be quite much more general tahn current
implementation.

 Who (if anybody) is currently working for building generalization? I'd
need to ask some things about future implementations in order to avoid
conflicts between our works.
