What the proper display is may not be that obvious. If the imported 
position has the top player on roll (as displayed), your new code will 
swap players anyway.

With these fancy XG exports, I don't think there is a way to be sure that 
the imported position will look like the html from the xgid alone. FWIW, 
XG doesn't do this either : if it exports a position upside down to have 
the bottom player on roll in the html, pasting the id will get the 
original position.

The question is more like : do we want the pasted positions to always have 
the player on roll at the bottom no matter what the id says ?

This is reasonable, but then :
- it should work for cube positions (from the look of the change in set.c, 
this is not the case)
- it should work for gnubgids
- it would be nice to have a configuration flag to enable or disable this
