It is more work, but you don't need to worry about the generators. 
They'll need a full overhaul to work with gen-terrain.  However, I don't 
want to introduce more terrain-specific properties that aren't 
controlled by the ruleset, when we can easily put them into the ruleset 
at the same time.

It may not be necessary to have a TER_UNSAFE option.  Maybe you can just 
check TER_POLAR - this would make more sense in conjunction with a 
server option.  Of course there is no TER_POLAR.

It shouldn't take much work to make such a patch.  Just a few more lines 
of code.
