Dear diary, on Sat, Dec 22, 2001 at 09:45:23AM CET, I got a letter, where
Raimar Falke <hawk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> told me, that...

And why he need to have whole picture in order to produce architecturally good
code, if he will just accept i.e. some changes in AI? ;) Maybe higher level of
encapsulation and defined interface between parts of freeciv would help this a
lot - if he will abide the defined interface, he doesn't need to worry so much.
Hey, and it would help creating civbot too! :)

Merry christmas and happy new year :).
