        First, don't use the old "mega patch" any more. There's a new 
shiny version 2 at
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv/incoming/impr-gen-combined-v2.patch.gz

(This obsoletes impr-gen-combined.patch.gz, which can now be removed from 
incoming.)

        This patch should apply to today's CVS, and fixes the bugs that 
were reported with version 1 of the patch, plus a couple that I spotted by 
myself.

        As before, this patch rolls together the 8 separate impr-gen 
patches that are currently in the bug tracking system:-

effect-init-v2.patch (PR#1140)
effect-implement-v2.patch (PR#1142)
effect-iterator.patch (PR#1115)
effect-city-bonuses-v2.patch (PR#1143)
impr-name-gen.patch (PR#1118)
effect-update-opt-v2.patch (PR#1141)
effect-citydlg-happiness-v2.patch (PR#1144)
landlock.patch (PR#1105)

        As for what to test, I'm currently running games of 3 or 4 AI 
players, plus a single human player that I use to observe one of the AIs 
(via. aitoggle), and am looking to spot bugs or differences between the 
"old" Freeciv behaviour and the new behaviour (i.e. wrong number of 
citizens made content, buildings not becoming obsolete when they should 
be, discrepancies between the server's and the client's ideas of what's 
going on, that kind of thing). I suggest you try it out on any late-game 
savegames you have, to make sure it gets pollution right (oh, and that it 
doesn't crash ;)
