Ok that didn't quite do it, so I set up a temporary FREECIV_PATH for
all the games.  Hope this works well.

Also, something that would really make this faster, if it didn't have
to be invoked for each savegame, but you could pass it a list.

As you mentioned, if the server could have a switch to just output this
during the game as it made the saves, that would be even better.
