Even 'better:' you can say

  create foo

to have one AI player, then set aifill to whatever you want,
and the game will start.

Originally - when Freeciv didn't have AI - minplayers would could
the number of *connected* players; it counts existing AI players now,
but the AI players created by aifill are still being ignored.

Why don't we just remove minplayers and maxplayers?
Their meaning is unclear, and who would ever use them?
