Wasn't someone doing work in an isometric tileset?  Anyways, OpenGL will
do the trick.

Yes, but it's for the freeciv-1.7.1 release.  I didn't add new things to
the GTK+ client because if i did that i would need to change the Xaw one
also and i don't know how to program in that.  I also didn't make a new
version based on CVS because that keeps changing, and some stuff that is
put there sometimes gets removed.  When the CVS version gets stable
enough, please tell me to make a patch to the client based on that.
