[Freeciv-Dev] [Patch] Pad year in savegame names with leading zeros

["Andreas Beckmann" <andreas.beckmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I thinks it's useful to add leading zeroes to the year in generated savegame
names (autosave and default filename). Always show 4 digits (and perhaps the
sign to indcate BC). So saves can be listed in cronological order using ls
etc. and won't get mixed (there is still a jump between BC and AD). [Patch]

Question: Why is the charset for save_name so limited? I'm missing
underscore and slash (to put all the files from a game into a subdirectory).
But the asterisk is allowed.
