Actually, no I don't think that patch did make it into cvs
at all.  And I'm hesitant about putting it in cvs, since
it somewhat penalises the AI.  (Although it probably makes 
the AI's job easier once it knows about this change; yes I 
know some people want an easier AI, but some other people 
need a challenge, and this isn't a good fix for that anyway!)

Also, that help fix isn't really sufficient.  The clause
modified is just an explanatory note comparing the effects
in freeciv to those in (eg) Civ2.  The full zoc rules are 
described above that clause and need to be adjusted too.
(Eg, put in a specific exception for moving off boats.)
