This popup shows you turn_gold_difference, whereas F5 shows your actual
calculated income.

turn_gold_difference is how much money you made/lost the _previous_
turn.  This also includes stuff like finding gold in huts.

Is this a bug?  Should the calculated income be used instead of
turn_gold_difference?  Is there a global function for calculating the
expected income?
