    I wish I could.  My Linux system was unusable so I deleted it.
Consequently, I don't currently have a system to even test source
patches, much less create one.

    One thing I *do* plan to do is re-install some old W32 binaries
from various times during the last 12 months.  I'm not certain, but
I suspect that food surpluses used to be preserved in some earlier
versions of Freeciv.  If I find an older version where it *does*
preserve food surpluses, then I'll post that info in a followup msg
here.
