Big unit images

[Hans Ronne <hronne at pp dot sbbs dot se>]

Advances Through History (and its daughter game Ancient Near East) now has
big Civ2-type unit images.

On the Mac, the drawing code has been adapted for this, in that grouping
boxes have been eliminated. Instead, you access occupants by
control-clicking on a city/transport to open its closeup. You can then
click on an occupant shown within the closeup to have the closeup focus on
that unit instead. The unit shown in a closeup is always selected on the
map. If you control-click on an occupant, a second closeup will open with
it instead. Finally, you can always get back to the transport by clicking
(or control-clicking) on its image in the occupant's closeup.

Since the tcltk version does not have closeups yet, things work as
previously over there, i.e. occupants are drawn within grouping boxes, and
you can access them directly by selecting them on the map. Things get a
little crowded with the big icons, but you can still play the game.
