My idea for score was that the full civ_score info should be tracked for 
all turns and all sent to the client.  The client can then use it to 
make pretty pictures (graphs, like other civ games have and like 
pubserver generates).  There are some problems with this idea of course.

Your patch moves in this direction.  I approve.
