Ok. Proposal:

- A new server option "lakes" Min: 0 Max: 4 Default: 0

- A setting lakes > 0 tweaks the map generator to produce more lakes
  within islands than now. Each island gets "lakes" percent additional
  tiles of type "ocean" inmidst. Lakes that can't be placed so that they
  are single are ignored.

- No additional rules.

Comments? Flames?
