The code is this:

   { /* max food */
     minimal_surplus: {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
     require_happy: FALSE,
     allow_disorder: FALSE,
     allow_specialists: TRUE,
     factor: {10, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},
     happy_factor: 0
   }

from my understanding this is not C99 but is a pre-C99 gcc extension for
handling per-field initialization.  I think it's "supposed" to be

  .minimal_surplus: {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},

but I'm not quite sure.  I also remember there have been reported
problems with using the real C99 method - we need a configure check for it.
