Or by the middle-click.

Whatever solution you arrive to, I insist the alliance info should also be 
available via the tile-info mouse middle click.  See the popit function in 
/client/gui-*/mapctrl.c

Re: border colouring idea.
I think different colours should stay, even though I cannot distinguish 
most of them.  Instead, one can code diplomatic info using the line 
pattern.  Say, dotted for alliance, dash-dotted for peace, short-dashed 
for neutral/ceasefire/no contact and long-dashed for war.
