I think there is already something that sums up total materials 
possessed by a side. It is used in the materials display beneath the 
units type list in the Tcl/Tk interface. If the basic calculation behind 
this is not already in the kernel, then it could probably be moved 
there, and you could call it at the end of each turn and update some 
arrays (of length 'nummtypes') that would allow you to maintain a 
running average of the rates of production:
   m_prod_avg[m] += (m_at_turn_end[m] - m_at_last_turn_end[m]) / 2;
or something like that.
