I would prefer to leave this till after 1.7.2.  We've been playing
for a long time the current way, and hardly anyone has noticed,
and changing it now could introduce bugs, and delay 1.7.2.

Should granarybasesize be in absolute food units (as you've described)
or in foodboxsize units?  The former is more general, but could lead
to strange results if someone changes foodboxsize and forgets to change
granarybasesize.
