I'm pretty sure that in Civ1 if a city's shield production is 0
then you do still get 1 added to the current production each turn
(no idea about Civ2).  This probably explains why this is in the
code, since freeciv was originally based on Civ1 before moving
towards Civ2.  (Ie, may want to use civ_style.)
