There are many exits in the code; you have to restructure the code
everywhere to make everything pass on the failure values and clean up
the allocated memory as appropriate.  The joys of C.

Now the ruleset format is undocumented and inadequate - it doesn't really
support nested structures.  So perhaps it's better to use libxml2?
libxml2 depends on libm (which Freeciv doesn't depend on I think)
and libz, which Freeciv depends on for compression, but nothing else.
