[Freeciv-Dev] Opps! My last patch did not fully re-initialize maps

[sam+civ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The last patch which I just posted here did not currectly fully
initialize the maps.  I have corrected this; I have also verified what
I am doing is correct by running a given map both as a retry and as the
first try; then diffing the two saved games.  The two saved games were
identical.

Here is a corrected version of the patch which ensures that each player
gets their own island with gen 1 or with gen 5.

My next project: Making sure the humans get the better islands than the
computer players (this is what Alpha Centauri does).
