        This is not true. The latest release of the borders patch is 
newborders-20020119.patch, available from http://freecivac.sf.net/. 
(Actually, that's not true either - I've just updated it so that it should 
apply to today's CVS, so the latest version is now 20020218. You'd better 
get it quickly before Raimar applies another one of his crazy style 
fixes though, as these always play merry havoc with 3rd-party patches. ;)

        Come on. It's only been available (in one form or another) for ten 
months. Patches take a while to get into Freeciv CVS... It is in FreecivAC 
CVS though, so you might want to test that instead. FreecivAC probably has 
twice as many bugs as Freeciv, so it'll keep you busy. ;)
