The windoze games Stars!  has a system like this.  You have a production queue
for each planet.  You can have some template queues, so you don't have to keep
setting up the same queues over and over again.

I like this idea a lot.  I added something that lets you see the land-squares
usage on the main map, push 't' with the mouse over a city or an in-use land
square.

I could add this to the client.  I'd like to use shift-click as the button. 
Shift click on a tile to work/unwork it, shift-click on a city to do the
autoarrange workers thing.  Shift-click is currently used by the wakeup
function.  However, the wakeup function also has the key 'W'.  Would anyone
object if I took shift click for arranging workers?  I'd use 'T', but that's a
rather awkward key combination.
