Heh. That makes it easier :)

I was thinking that the ability to fortify was semantically similar
to the ability to avoid being killed by a bombardier: the unit in
question would be able to hunker down using available cover to protect
themselves (whereas a unit unable to fortify presumably cannot use
available cover, so cannot protect themselves from the bombardier). That
said, I'll implement it with a different flag: do you think it should be
UTYF, UCF, or UCF+UTYF exception?
