Actually, I was planning to have a 'rivermove' server option
to control the river moment bonus.  (Eg, this would allow the 
'classic' terrain with the current river effect.)

Eg, rivermove coud take values:
  0 = no movement bonus for rivers (matches Civ1)
  1 = 1/3 move, but only when moving exactly _along_ rivers: diagonal
      moves incur full terrain movement costs (matches Civ2)
  2 = 1/3 move directly along river, 2/3 for diagonals (some people 
      wanted this; its effectively similar to below as if you had 
      done the two moves, except differences for ZOC etc)
  3 = 1/3 move, any river to river including diagonals (classic freeciv)

Or maybe this could go in the ruleset file; a server option
would be a bit more flexible, but I guess it depends if people 
are really likely the change the server option or not...  
Probably not, so putting it in the ruleset file may be best.
