Non-portable.

Don't attach scripting to the client directly. Make a new client that's just
an AI. Client code, no display functionality at all -- it can send info
messages to the server or something.

Attach scripting to IT, in whatever language you like -- but trying to add
scripting to all clients is just gonna cause some heartache. "I need -what-?
GUILE? Can I get by with stealth?"
