It is a bit confusing at the moment. CVS HEAD is what is to become the
1.15 release, although it is called 1.14.1. What might become the 1.14.1
release is in the CVS branch called S1_14.

I have not seen this before. Unfortunately, another veteran levels patch
has been made which is on its way to cvs inclusion, see
http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4044. Can you look at this
and see if you have anything to add to it, which you have done better?

Furthermore, making killstack optional has previously been rejected as
undesirable. I think the same would go for the damage option.

Looking at the TODO web page and searching RT before making a patch is
generally a good idea to avoid duplication of effort.
