Simple idea
Why not add the tech teams to the majors that are *already* in the game?
I have always modded my games to incorporate teams I felt they ought to have, but were included only in the files for potential breakaway nations, for example:
Lockheed for US (in the California file)
Daimler for GER (in the Austrian file -- added via Anschluss)
and so on, SOV could grab teams from BYE or UKR as appropriate, ENG from SCO
You get the idea. There are some teams that ought to be incorporated (I've always felt) that are already in the files we have on our computers, the only thing required is to add a few lines of text in the team files for the majors (no new pic files need be added).
While this may not meet ALL of your requirements, certainly there are plenty of extra teams to be added for the majors...
Ok, here's a better (more concrete example of the added lines to the USA file):
132;IBM;T132;8;1924;1970;chemistry;electronics;mathematics;technical_efficiency;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
133;Lockheed;T10306;7;1930;1970;aeronautics;technical_efficiency;electronics;rocketry;chemistry;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
134;General Motors;T10503;7;1930;1970;mechanics;industrial_engineering;technical_efficiency;management;artillery;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
135;DuPont;T136;8;1930;1970;chemistry;industrial_engineering;technical_efficiency;nuclear_engineering;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
129;Philadelphia Naval Shipyard;T129;6;1930;1970;naval_engineering;naval_artillery;electronics;technical_efficiency;general_equipment;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
Though I can't remember if IBM was already in there or if I modified the date...
