That will be changed.

Hmm, that would allow units sail on rivers faster that on seas...
well, why not?

And you better not :-) Well, I have to admit that the code in my last
patch was hopeless when it comes to goto and has been changed a lot
during the weekend. I hoped I could do it quickly without trying to
understand this much... and I had to understand it first.
I am still sitting on autoexplore and when I have it I will send a new
patch that will be hopefully more mature.
