        But that's just the point.  You don't have to.
        I recently pointed out two projects that would require little
coding expertise.  They simply require a background knowledge of what
actions are available and/or what the rules *should* be.  Most of the code
can be cut-and-pasted from what's there.

extending diplomat activities in ai/aihand:ai_manage_diplomat()
fixing combat rules in server/unitfunc.c:unit_versus_unit() (mishandles
shore bombardment and Pearl Harbor cases)
