It fixes the original problem (if you lose Palace before Masonry you're
totally screwed since you can no longer research anything) without using a
bandaid kludge like the savepalace server option that conjures up a new
palace by random. It also fixes the problem Chris mentions, that if you
lose all your cities but not all your original units and manage to found a
new city but do not have Masonry, you're also totally screwed.

Chris, Thomas, others... what do you think?
