Optimize for most units by time X #59

Please provide any additional information below.

I posted this on the teamliquid thread, but just wanted to make sure it was 
seen:

"... at the start you would choose the parameters: 10 minutes and roaches and 
then it would find the build order that produces the most roaches by the 10 
minute mark.

I think this would be extremely useful for figuring out good timing pushes as 
well as figuring out good timing defenses. For instance, let's say you know a 
15 FE nexus protoss is weak against mutas until 9:00; you would simply enter in 
"8:30" and "mutalisk" and the program would spit out the build for the most 
possible mutalisks by that time. Same thing with 4 gate defense. Find out the 
timing of the 4 gate push, then optimize for lings and roaches or lings and 
hydras until then.

Hopefully it's easy to code. If not, I still think it should be considered for 
something down the road."

P.S. Sorry, I don't know how to choose "Enhancement" instead of "Defect"

It's marked as "Enhancement" by the devs.

Would like to add that a variation of the above, specifying most units of type 
(X) with Y of Z would be even more useful.

The main situation being the most drones by time X with a set number of units, 
for defending against timing pushes.

As another variation would also like to float the idea of being able to assign 
a set fitness score for economy (or drones), so you could have it find a 
solution to standard (read, as per now v0020) build where it takes slightly 
longer to get the units but ends up with a much stronger economy.
