What I would like to see is

1.  A ruleset, civ3.serv and data/civ3.  This can be a contributed 
add-on, but should go into CVS as soon as it's recognizably from civ3. 
It must be playable, even if this means some options are absent.

2.  A list of new features needed for civ3 compatability.  These should 
be separated as cleanly as possible, and put into RT.

The same would apply for just about any other civ game.  But for some 
games there are just too many code differences needed for a ruleset to 
be recognizable without them (e.g., SMAC and gen-effects), so I think we 
need some code changes first.
