I was once in a large map, generator 3 game that was aborted for this
reason only.

What about a 'auto-ferry' command?  This would summon a ship to move
between two tiles, trying to maximise the transportation of units on
'goto' that need the connection.  The goto command would need to be
rewritten to use ferry lines.

I am not keen on adding yet another 'auto-*' command but it would be useful.
