At one time there was a patch to make realistic maps,
written by Sam. using Mark Isaak's plate tectonic simulator.
That patch had to be applied on after this gen67 patch.

The maps generated look really realistic,
see http://www.samiam.org/freeciv/maps.html

I think that there were some problems related to map-generation time, but
I can't find a RT-ticket for it... Would this patch be included, if it was
updated to CVS and the speed-issues were resolved?
