The format to specify terrain depending city names have changed
again. Unfortunately there is currently no docu how to change the
nation files to the new format. Also no nation has been updated yet.

However examples look like this:
  "Washington (ocean, river, swamp, !mountains)",
  "New York (ocean, river, forest, !mountains)",
  "Boston (ocean, river, forest, hills)",
  "Philadelphia (river, forest, hills, grassland)",
  "Los Angeles (ocean, desert, plains, !jungle)",
  "Atlanta (!ocean, forest, plains, hills)",
  "Chicago (plains, !hills, !mountains, !river)",
  "Buffalo (river, hills, forest, !jungle)",
  "St. Louis (!ocean, river, plains, !mountains)",
  "Detroit (plains, hills, !forest)",
  "New Orleans (ocean, river, forest, !hills)",

Jason: can you write a README.city_names? So that we can point people
like Peter to this document.

Jason: what is the status of the new_natural_city_names-data-4.diff.gz
patch? Is it superseded? It contains a lot of noise and doesn't apply
anymore.
