Actually, the answer is yes, mostly. I implemented it several 
months ago, and it is mentioned in the HTML change log on the 
Xconq Web site. Look at the documentation for the 
'auto-upgrade-to' unit property, also see the 
'change-type-acp-test.g' "game" in the test/manual 
directory (in CVS, not yet in the packages).

It is used in Bellum II. You might also want to look at Lincoln's 
BoloDD games; I don't remember whether it is used there or not, 
but change-type, in general is used there and in Bellum.
