  Almost nothing about glib is documented :(  The hash tables are fairly simple
to use, as are a number of other things. (I think there's a portable snprintf
replacement, for example)  I may look in the freeciv source to see if there are
enough other good uses for us to justify actually using it instead of using our
own stuff :)
