I tried to use AC_MINGW32 (I don't know what the exact macro name is
because I'm not at home. AC_CHECK_TOOL(WINDRES) or similar requires
config.sub. I don't know how to create one.

This is some stuff which enables me to to build a client by just putting
the source into client/gui-win32. gui-win32/freeciv-rc.o would be created by
windres. It cannot be linked into libguiclient.a because it is not linked
into civclient then. gcc would not fail to link even without freeciv-rc.o
The only way is to do
gcc -o civclient  [...] gui-win32/freeciv-rc.o
I have put gui-win32/freeciv-rc.o into LIBGUICLIENT_depend in
gui-win32/Makefile.am. 

I can send my client stuff to, if anyone is interested.

I'll test your diff. I have tested my diff before sending. The stuff is
based on the patch I have used to compile 1.11.4.
