As long as we're here, I was wondering if it really makes sense for a unit 
on a river to get the same defense bonus against a ship as it gets vs. a 
land unit.  Sorry for the digression.

I'm not seeing this necessarily in the next version, unless I should happen 
to be blessed with enough copious free time do to a large part of it 
myself, but maybe a couple of versions down the road:
- basic client scripting

So I wouldn't have to micromanage quite so much.  I'd like to see GUILE 
used for this, since I'm a bit of a Scheme person, and it _is_ in the To Do 
list, after all. (-:  Of course, it'd probably have to be optional at 
compile-time, so that people whose systems don't have GUILE and who don't 
want to or can't (?) install it can still use the rest of Freeciv.
I have a [very] little experience with GUILE, which I guess means that I've 
just volunteered to write all the bindings or something. /-:
