If there's "not enough land area" (some heuristic) on which to place new
barbarian units, but there is "enough water area" (another heuristic) on
which to build barbarian boats, then boats are (potentially) built and
filled with barbarians.

I'd guess the reason you see a "floating" barbarian is because of the
yet-to-be-fixed bug where sometimes the clients draw the pasenger, rahter
then the ship.  (First bug of PR#202.)
