+/* The reason this exists in C++, is that a user can trash his ai/ dir,
+ *  leaving no AIs available. The complexity to solve this is insane, and
+ *  therefor the alternative is used, and make sure there is always an AI
+ *  available, no matter what the situation is. By defining it in C++, there
+ *  is simply now way a user can delete it, and therefor safe to use. It has
+ *  to be noted that this AI is complete invisible for the user, and impossible
+ *  to select manual. It is a fail-over in case no AIs are available.
