I reckon the thing to do here would be to say that for upper floors
building could be done up to one square out from any wall on the lower
floor. - this would allow tudor style houses with jutting out walls,
or a balcony-like structure. - practically, look to see if anything
has been built on the square immediatly below, if not check that at
least 2 of the squares adjacent to the one below it have been built
on, if so set the can_build flag.

Extra bonus points - check this on each entrance to the map, and
destroy the walls if you remove their support, dropping any items that
happen to be nearby, possibly destroying them,

for lower floors no such restriction would be needed. -though maybe
there should need to be a pillar or wall every 6 squares or so?
