Replacing the whole game logic with scripting is tricky from the performance 
point of view. Furthermore, that's a very big job, but if someone wants to do 
it, that's ok. Again, as for the GA stuff, I don't see this work on the main 
branch of glob2 for now, although I think such a projet could live in glob2's 
repository beside glob2.
Anyway, a clear profiling result should be analysed before attempting such an 
endeavour, just to know if it is realistic or not. I know that war3 does it, 
but we have 10 times the number of units present in war3.
