[Freeciv-Dev] metaserver patch revision 10

[Nicolas Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

   this is an update of my metaserver patch. The old one was broken by the
move of text from clinet.c to connectdlg.c.

Server side:
   - new option --Metaserver (There is already --meta.)
   You can try either www.daimi.aau.dk or www.freeciv.org
   An address is expected.
   The server won't warn you if you open a socket to wrong address which
exists.
   
   - new command 'metaserver' to set metaserver to a given address.
   - new command 'nometa' to disconnect whenever you want.

Clients side:
   - new option --metaserver (Caps make freeciv options ugly.)
   An URL is expected.
   You can try either http://www.daimi.aau.dk/~lancelot/freeciv.html or 
                      http://www.freeciv.org/metaserver/freeciv.html

Ps1:

Xaw / connectdlg.c  

char *server_list[64]={NULL};

It's the first time I see a string initialized this way ! :)
One day, It will be good to declare some standard length for string.
Throughout, the code we have 64 256 or 512. I really don't know what
length to choose when I add a new string.

Ps2:

I have been in holidays for 10 days. It's real good to see how much has
been done during these last 10 days.

Ps3:

We played a FreeCiv game with mwh. There are still at least 2
refresh(update) problems with the gtk client. When I use a boat, what is
displayed is what was in the boat I previously used. I have to click on
the boat to know really what it contains. Mwh saw that info displayed
in the city window were totally outdated. He owned 9 citizens and only
6 were displayed. His client was running on one computer with the display
redirect to another.
