(the patch adds an /end command)

Actually, I have a comment: could you rename it to /endgame ?
That way the name is more descriptive, while /end will still work.

You're right, of course.  I was thinking of a more general solution
to that problem and I hadn't thought it through yet.  Now, I think
improving the the 'cmdlevel first' feature is the right solution.
No need for a new command level.  See my posting of yesterday.

This command is special in that the wrapper running civserver.freeciv.org
doesn't deal well with games that have ended, but that's something to be
fixed in the wrapper.
