[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#4718) topology cleanup for client autocenter code

["rwetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <rwetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why change the nice aesthetics of choosing a centered position which has
been the norm for some time.

There is no sense to this. Just fix iterate outwards in the trivial way and
don't throw out the baby for some unfathomably stupid reason.

Your code will almost always center on the upper left corner, or the lower
right which doesn't seem like much of a centering operation.
