Thank you!  In addition, the Civ II manual, p. 80, says
pollution varies with the difficulty level.  It adds:

  Smog [= pollution due to population] has no effect on pollution
  calculations until your civilization acquires the advance of
  Industrialization.

So the present Freeciv computation, which I thought was fairly absurd,
seems to be a good model of Civ II after all.  I suppose Daniel Sjolie's
computation will have to be marked with a server setting if it is accepted
at all.
