The more general approach, it seems to me, is to let this be controlled
by 'unit managers', objects that control a set of units and maybe even
obtain new ones from cities.  Thue's ferryboat patch already contains
an implementation for a specific task (it makes goto work across oceans).

This has been discussed on freeciv-dev before.
