Actually, one utility generates civscore files from savegames.
The civscore2gnuplot graph generator is just a shell script.

That's the other utility, which generates .ppm maps from savefiles.
This can be incorporated into the server, but what would the server
send the .ppm to?  There could be an option 'also save .ppm maps with
savefiles' but that is kludgy.  If the client is going to display this
information, it would be better to add a new minimap instead.
