A binary of the today cvs patched with the following patch is at
http://home.t-online.de/home/akemnade/freeciv-cvs-server.tar.gz

I have tested it on linux with wine and on win95.

The patch is almost the same is the server stuff from the 1.11.4 patch
(The windows binary package uses it). So, if nothing is broken down,
the server should still work. (I haven't tested meta server report yet)

There were some typos in configure.in and win-stdin.c in Vasco's patch.
Here is the corrected version.
