In that case, the code now follows the SMAX scheme.  I'll make a few
more additions before I send another patch though.  I think I'll make
some ruleset options to enable selection between these, and possibly
other, behaviours.

What do people think about the territory measurement code in the civ
score routines?  Should I replace that with this new border set up?  Or
leave it as it is?
