Also note that there are non-commercial graphic sets out there for
civ3 which have a high quality
(http://www.civ3.de/www/content/index.php?cat=21). I think we could
convince one or multiple authors to license it under GPL. Now the only
problem is that these graphics are in civ3 format. They have a
different drawing scheme but it is IMHO possible to convert the
graphics or adapt freeciv.

  (On the statement print "42 monkeys"+"1 snake"): BTW, both perl and Python
  get this wrong. Perl gives 43 and Python gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when 
  the answer is clearly "41 monkeys and 1 fat snake".
