Railroads need engineering which need the wheel, although if someone gives
you engineering you can skip the wheel.  Destroyer/ironclad are
differentiated by the motor if you look at their prereqs so there isn't
really any reason to have them depend on each other.  But the
stealth/flight thing always has bugged me.  We've moved away from the civ2
rules in a lot of ways, why not here -- make Stealth depend on Space Flight
rather than Robotics.
