About Xaw resources i don't know, but as far as i can tell Gtk+ has no
conventions on that. We can change the directory for the Gtk+ resource
files to ~/.freeciv/freeciv.rc or maybe ~/.freeciv/civclient.rc.  What do
you think?

If that's the case, IMO both files should be removed from CVS.

BTW the changes i made to the ad2c script seem to work, but i really dunno
much about sed besides the s// command :-)
