Wasn't there something earlier on the list about the difference betwene
regular and neuclear polution?
I belive a thought that had been given was neuclear fallout is harder to
clean up than regular messes and takes much more time.  It also requires
advanced technology.
Proposal:
        Implement above sugestion.
        In adition, make cleanup of neuclear polution take longer (same
amount of time as teraforming?), and require units that can do so to have a
flag F_NUKE_CLEANUP.
        neuclear polution could
                cause damage to ground units present/cleaning it up
                spread (slowly) due to incoming/outgoing objects
                co-exist with regular polution (double trouble--ugh)
Due the the feature freze, implmentation should be delayed until the next
version.
