Please, separate client and server data directories.

For now tiles are intermixed with server rulesets.

For my java client I use following layout

data/help - for now just helptext.txt
data/images/trident
data/images/default (it could be data/images/engels)
data/sound

Common image files could go directly to data/images

If we could standarize on one format it would mean easier maintance :)



Server files could go to new directory - something like rules/ with
rules/civ1
rules/civ2
rules/default

etc.
