The decorations patch is much more ambitious.  It should probably
include all of goto as well as the citymap overlay.  Although I'm still
not sure what advantage it really gives, other than being more
extensible (which is good but I don't know what we're going to extend
the mapview to do).

This version of the patch does the text and the graphics.  But
personally I think the text is rather useless.

See also http://www.freeciv.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38.  In that topic
a player proposes almost exactly the same sprite method used by the patch.

So I'd like to go forward with this as it is now...
