This is troublesome, as the string is part of the game engine rather
than part of the ruleset, so can't always be accurate.

This is in the message configuration UI; what it really means is "send
me a message when I need a building that behaves like an Aqueduct does
in the classic ruleset", that is, allows city growth. There are a number
of places where ruleset elements are used as shorthand for game concepts
like this.

If we add more ruleset details like "or Sewer System" then that'll still
be wrong for the Alien World ruleset when we ship it, where the actual
requirement is Basic Infrastructure plus various other factors.

So it hasn't been corrected, and I think we'll have to leave this as it
is. It's a relatively minor UI annoyance; the message you actually get
during gameplay in this circumstance *is* tailored to the ruleset.

Hm. Sounds horribly plausible, although I've not run into it myself.

I assume this was the Gtk2 client. When you say "oldstable", do you
mean the old stable version of Freeciv (2.3.x), or Debian "oldstable" =
squeeze and hence Freeciv 2.2.1?)
