I meant from the Freeciv perspective, not the Xt perspective.

I would prefer him to grab the latest CVS copy, but if he's in
a hurry and _must_ get 1.7.1 going, then that's how to do it.

If he persists with 1.7.1, why he's likely to encounter more bugs
we've found and fixed.  If he grabs the new CVS version, he's got
a whole new set of undiagnosed bugs to be confounded by, and that
sounds much more exciting and entertaining!!  Note, big ;-)

I would too!
