Yes GIMP does, as well does Xchat (xchat.org), AbiSuite
(www.abisource.com) and a lot of other programs.

Well Freeciv is getting realy big, maybe we want to release some
unstable versions along the way to the next stable version.
The recent issue about the metaserver could be fixed by just patching
the old version 1.8.2 to 1.8.3 and release that. BTW. why hasn't that
been done? .. do we still wait for the old metaserver to get up or?
