I can't find it on any of my systems
The tileset you used is on ftp.freeciv.org but the patch is not.

freeciv-dev mentions it:

   http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-199905/msg00307.html

It even has a message from Vasco who says it's part of the GTK+ client:

   http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-199812/msg00137.html

It isn't part of it now.  Where did you put it, Vasco?

freeciv-dev also has a later patch by Kevin Brown to cache tiles:
