  Speaking of which -- earlier versions of Freeciv had a related bug: when
production of one item was complete you would be charged for either part of
another item of the same type or (with buildings) for whatever the AI started
building, with no way to intervene.  eg: if I'm building a Granary and it
completes, the AI might decide to start City Walls next.  If I want to switch
to military units instead, I have to do it manually and lose 50% of the
surplus, which is kind of annoying.  Maybe the penalty should be waived the
turn after construction of something is complete?
