Nice idea (in fact, a friend asked for this a week or so ago).  The patch
needed some fixing, however.  The attached patch is Tomasz', plus:

- Updated to latest CVS.
- Saves the dispersion value to the save file.
- Forces the first unit (typically a Settlers) to be placed on the real
start position.
- Requires the dispersed units to remain on the same continent.
- Changes the help about the dispersion server option.  The "short help"
was too long (restrictions are explained in the definition of struct
settings_s near the top of stdinhand.c).  Shortened short help, and added
long help.
- Fixes bugs in dx,dy computation code.  The patch implemented its own
versions of map_adjust_x() and map_adjust_y() -- and did it wrong.  You
should always use these standard functions: they keep you from making
mistakes.
