It is ALIVE!
SplitTech is two things.
First, it is a mod that takes nearly every technology in Civilization, and splits it into two parts.
The first part is the THEORY of the technology, and is tradeable.
The second part is the APPLICATION of the technology, and is NOT tradeable.
The THEORY is useless, other than as a prerequisite for the APPLICATION.
This makes technologies half-tradeable. You can trade for half of a technological advance, but you have to spend the beakers to apply it within your empire.
Second, it is a python script that takes a tech tree file, and splits the techs into two halves.
The python script can divide the beakers 50/50 or in any other fraction you want. Using it requires some knowledge of python -- it doesn't take command line parameters very well. It also generates relatively ugly XML output.
You can pick a list of technologies not to split in half. This us useful for beginning techs and future tech. Techs not split in half are left tradeable.
In general, this script should work with any mod, with the one caviet that mods that grant technologies to players via python/c++ might get confused.

Mod (with the python script included):
Split Tech
This mod was designed and tested against warlords 2.08.
For those who read my python -- apologies, I was redredging my python skills from over a year of disuse. So the techniques used proceed from rather stupid simple code, to some overly advanced techniques for this problem.
I probably should have just learnt an XML mod.
