The latest cvs sources can be downloaded as a snapshot from
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/latest/freeciv-cvs-Mar-27.tar.bz2

My teams patch can be downloaded from
http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~permath/freeciv/teamslite2.patch

I think we should call what was called "team melee" in Starcraft for
"shared control" or something, to avoid confusion with "teams" as used in
the above patch by me.

In the cvs snapshot, try reading freeciv_hackers_guide.txt, the section
called "Connections". The association of a connection with a player is
done in server/srv_main.c:accept_new_player and related functions.

How much work remains to make it fly, I simply don't know. I hope you
manage to implement it, though, as it sounds like a very good idea.

Yours,
