Argh, that is indeed complex and weird.  I really do not like mere
exploration making implicit land claims.  If we implemented that directly
the native anger levels would go through the roof.

Agreed.  Note also we have implemented land claims by wandering
natives, however there were complaints that they claimed too much land, so
native land claims occur with probability proportional to proximity to the
brave's home settlement, subject to a maximum.

Done (git.96b1cb917e).  Tiles claimed by an improvement action are now
owned by a neighbouring colony owned by the same player.

Done as foreshadowed, with the new "Claim all tiles" game option, enabled
in classic mode, disabled in freecol mode (git.1ce7690fa9).
