        If you mean the generalised improvements patches, then they don't 
touch the tech code at all, so the patches should be compatible (in fact, 
the only place where techs are used at all is in testing for whether we 
can build a given improvement, and that's just the same as in the 
unpatched Freeciv anyway). As for FreecivAC proper, I've just tested the 
patch against the latest CVS, and only one hunk fails; it's a minor 
problem (different context due to the patching for compound units) and 
easily fixed.
