        Actually, I wrote some code for FreecivAC to do this once,
although it wasn't as general as this; it just replaced the current
hard-coded "between 1 and 5 turns of anarchy" with a ruleset-specified
"between 1 and N turns", and for SMAC we just set N to zero. We don't
use this any more though, as we handle SMAC governments differently to
normal Civ ones, bypassing the normal revolution handling.
