I'm pretty sure that this is wrong:
+rm -rf freeciv
You probably want to leave that directory intact, because that holds the
source that you update every day.
You should rm the .tar.gz that "make dist" creates and $FREECIV/ after
you're done useing them, or else they might start cluttering up the
directory.
