I believe that to be a bigger project than layers. In any case, the two
should be kept separate.

In order to clean up the concept of transportation, I think we will need
to separate the 'sentry' mode from the act of 'loading' a transport.
Ideally, a player should have to press a 'load transport' button (or move
the unit into the transport) in order to make it 'transported_by'.

This way there will be no confusion about what units on a tile are doing.

Check out the transport code in the server, it is really messy.
