Wellll, "fully" is the key word here. To get general improvements fully
working is going to take a lot of work, mainly in the AI department.

To get is partially working isn't going to take much work at all. See my
post (PR#2521) for version 8 of the patchset. This implements a working 
subset of the effects.

I am working on this (slowly). Would you like to help? Download the patch.
Test a lot. Change the ruleset to exercise the effects that currently 
work (I think):

Give_Imm_Adv, Improve_Rep, Enable_Space, Enable_Nuke, Reveal_Cities, and
Reveal_Map, Food_Add_Tile, Food_Inc_Tile, Food_Per_Tile, Prod_Add_Tile,
Prod_Inc_Tile, Prod_Per_Tile, Trade_Add_Tile, Trade_Inc_Tile, and
Trade_Per_Tile.

Report behavior that we shouldn't be getting. Report server and client 
crashes. If you're feeling creative you can attempt to implement more effects.
Relatively easy ones to try would be: 

Any_Government, No_Anarchy, No_Sink_Deep, Spy_Resistant, Upkeep_Free
