We already have a list of activity for diplomats and settlers.
We can do the same for caravans.

       CARAVAN_IDLE -> normal goto.
       CARAVAN_WONDER -> automatticaly try to help build wonder.
       CARAVAN_TRADE ->     //          // // etablish a trade route.

With a key to swap from one activity to another.
So, we will know at once what to do.
