 I have applied the patch (by hand - it is not clean against the
current CVS) and playtested it. I did not experience any fatal
problems, but it would be a good idea to a) track the units that are
built, or b) ignore units in the citypref worklist altogether. Apart
from the infinite-riflemen problem I saw, it looks good.

 I would suggest to expand the concept a bit, so that two playlists
are maintained in this way. One that is looked at before the citys own
playlist is checked, and one after.

 [Rest of patch snipped]

 It might be a good idea to include the patch as a MIME attachment
another time. I had to manually un-wrap some of the lines before it
was useable.
