Just a note: In S2_5 and TRUNK you have configure option --with-missinglist
that tells this, but not enabled by default.

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #21702 (project freeciv):

Two things were helpful:

1) An informataion line in the ./configure summary about which compressions
are to built in and which not (but could).

2) an error message for the load command, "The savegame could not be loaded,
because this freeciv-server programm does not support the type of compression
of your file. According to the ending of the name of the file, "bz2",  this is
bzip2 compression. You can rebuild your Freeciv program to support this, or
you decompress your savegame manually, e.g by 'bunzip2 savegame.sav.bz' on the
console."

There might be other error reasons, when you copy savegames.

It wouldn't seem too evil for Freeciv to hardcode recognition of the
start-of-file magic signature for gz/bz2/xz (e.g. 'BZ' for bzip2) for the
purpose of fixing this issue.

Same with any compression method.

Some kind of generic error message can be added, but one cannot tell that
bzip2 compression is needed unless one already has it, and can thus identify
the savegame as bzip2 compressed one.
