Here's a patch to remedy the aforementioned laziness and has the exact 
opposite effect of my original patch: It will add Roman numerals where 
one is 'missing'.

Also, to improve the quality of leader lists: Revised many spellings, 
added surnames or first names where appropriate, added a few leaders.

Names I won't change without discussion: Egyptian pharaoh Cheops that 
modern Egyptologists would like to call "Khufu". Plus the Persian 
leaders Xerxes, Darius and Cyrus, who are called something quite 
different in ancient Persian. See comments in patch.
