Attached is another snapshot. Changes to the previous version are:
 - town management agents (TMA), this agent has currently only hack
 status. It will check if there is work for an extra settler and will
 build one as fast as possible using CMA.
 - master, it will set the cities under TMA and the units under SMA or
 EA. 
 - turn done agent. It will press the turn done button 50 turns and so
 give a continuous game play.

This snapshot does the step from a helpers-only human-supporting to a
very small and stupid but self-contained AI.
