Rollo - No, just making it easier for the people who aren't as obsessed about it as us to keep thier AI's up to date

PDF - What specifically do you want to add? if it is just an additional tech or tech levels that provide facilities that would get built by the Construct Facilities file because of thier abilities, you only have to insert the tech into the Research file somewhere. If you are adding new weapons, there is some more work in adding the weapons to the list of weapons and adding them to several formulas. If you are adding racial abilities it is a real headache.
