According to
http://www.freeciv.org/manual/game-14.html there are
specially named worklists "buildfirst" and "citypref"
which are supposed to accomplish this, but I can't get
them to work (in CVS); was this lost from 1.8.0?

I just created ticket #5777 (
http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5777 )
about building Coinage when other things are available
in the worklist.  I think fixing this would make the
above message moot.

P.S., Rich, you've got a lot of great ideas, I suggest
getting a login for RT.freeciv.org so you can submit
them as tickets.
