Um, right, my bad. Unit types were indeed only implemented for
unit position. I've committed the changes for unit destroyed to
CVS. I've only done a quick test, so the code might still be a little
rough. Let me know if there are problems.

Agreed.

I think it should be changed everywhere. A "depot" as used in all the
missions we have so far is usually equal to "workshop" while shops
where you can actually build new units are always (if I'm not mistaken)
labelled in a way that lets the player see immediately that it's not
just your average depot (this generally means they have "Factory" in
their names). I believe that's a good tradition.
