Maybe the part of the GA+freeciv program interpreting the parameters
optimized by the GA could be written in C (C99?), so that it could be
used. Which kind of gets me thinking, this would be much like calling
a (modified) freeciv from a shell .. Unless you intend to vary the GA
parameters over the turns and have several iterations of the GA in one
game, that is
