A rather complicated thing to test for, and for the player a bit bizarre 
(meeting new players puts me at war, why am I at peace this one time?).

IMO whatever function is used to declare war (and breaks alliances to 
avoid love-love-hate) should be used when war is created on contact. 
Then the alliance will be automatically snipped.
