Seems like a sensible thing to do.

You could probably model this on the tcltk research dialog, which I just
gave a major overhaul. It would not always pop to front when user input was
required, but this has now been fixed. I had to use a customized
WM_DELETE_WINDOW protocol to get it to work as expected, though.

Excellent.

It is quite possible for a side to own a unit that it cannot build,
however. Since this list is used to select units to build, one would have
to disable (gray out?) some unit types. Not sure if this is a good idea,
unless we get a Mac-type build popup to to the selection instead.
BTW, the Mac interface has a unit list that lists all visible units, not
just the unit types. Kind of a multiple unit info box. Of course, this
requires a separate window. You can click on a unit in the list and the map
will jump to it. Perhaps something to consider for the tcltk interface as
well? Post-7.5, of course.
