AI Research Builder

Another thought: I do not care to implement separate lists based on AI states. The current version makes all techs in the research file configured for all states. If I try to load in complex AI research files that have a bunch of tech lines based on specific states, everything will break down. I dunno how many AIs do things with separate states in the research file though, other than bumping up stellar manipulation for not-connected.

SJ's version of the program has checkboxes with the various AI states, but I don't think it's really necessary. In 99% of the files all states are specified with special entries for not connected. I suspose some really enthusiastic AI modder might like to optimize a file for individual AI states, but I can see that actually causing more problems for the AI (ie AI never comes back to research a tech because it never comes back to a state).
