[Freeciv-Dev] GTK+ 2.0 port.

[Vasco Alexandre Da Silva Costa <vasc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well the GTK+ 2.0 port is in CVS.

There is still much work to be done on the client, but the existing code
should prove functional enough except for two things:

* autoconf changes still haven't been applied (please see the attached patch).
* i must hack iget_string() and iput_string() in order to do UTF-8
  conversion (via a callback, similar to close_callback in
  common/connection.c) since GTK+ 2.0 requires all strings to be in UTF-8
  format. The client will start without this (but it will crash eventually).

Since these changes touch common files, i will not apply these patches
without some time for discussion on this list first. I will post patches
for the UTF-8 conversion soon.

Screenshots of some of the redesigned dialogs are here:

PS: Yes, the Algol comments will not remain there for long.

Enjoy!
