no, no, no, no. you made this same objection on cma presets. There is
simply no excuse to save what is only a human time-saver in a savegame.
You're asking to put a lot of junk everywhere (lots 'o buttons/displays 
in the guis, switches in the server, different types of global worklists, 
etc) just to satisfy some bizarre need to maintain the status quo. 
The _only_ downside to this patch is that your saved global worklist might
be a bit screwed up if you radically alter the rulesets. This is simply not
a good enough reason not to do this. I can't imagine why this was ever
server-side in the first place.
