This is similar to the situation for city walls/great wall, as I've 
pointed out before.  The difference is that the great wall will always 
be obsoleted, whereas the chance of the Pyramids, SETI program, 
Michelangelo's Chapel, Women's Suffrage,
be destroyed is much lower.

Previously I believe this was solved by separating the equiv_dupl and 
equiv_repl fields in the buildings.ruleset (those are some impressively 
obscure names!).  The correct solution, I believe, is that it should be 
*possible* for the player to build any of these buildings (the server 
should not disallow it), but the client should not make them available 
by default.  Instead a duplicated building (equiv_dupl) should only be 
presented if a particular option is enabled.  Replicated buildings 
(equiv_repl) should not be used at all (except perhaps for compatability).
