Some of what I call in FreecivAC impr-gen, or generalised improvements,
has gone into Freeciv. As for the rest, you'll have to ask Mike, as he's
the maintainer currently in charge of this kind of thing, to the best of
my knowledge. He calls it "generalised effects" though, just to confuse
everybody ;) (although it's probably a better title, given that effects
in FreecivAC, and someday in Freeciv, are no longer conferred only by
improvements, but by particular unit types, governments, nations, etc.)
