Only PR#1149 is there for now. I decided to go much slower way and don't
forerun official CVS a lot. At least until there will be any real chance to
cleanup AI in official CVS as well :).

If someone will join me, I expect him to make separate things in separate
branches, so we will be still able to make small and specialized patches easily
in order to merge them to official CVS.

This is not a takeover attempt! :-) I just want to have for myself (and offer
to others interested) more development CVS of same project (like even Raimar
suggested ;), which should just help to test more development
not-yet-ready-to-super-stable-CVS patches together and have some version
control even on them. I expect to have this CVS in tight sync with official CVS
and generally only short-term changes there (until they will be tuned and
accepted).
