This is more of a python nit: It's better to use moduleset = os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'], 
'freeciv.modules')

You went for two babysteps instead of one, and fell over as babies so often do. You didn't define a module 
with id="freeciv", so jhbuild doesn't know wha to do.
Have you run `jhbuild bootstrap` and `jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap` yet? The first uses a special 
moduleset, but the second is universally required and will work with only the 'include' directive in your 
skeletal moduleset.
