...
currently I am having a few problems compiling freeciv on
one of our machines where configure thinks there is sound
support but gmake obviousely thinks there is not:

audio_sdl.c:22:23: SDL_mixer.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
...

Reinier thinks this is a bug configure.in/ac nobody has ever looked at
this again. Reason: it wasn't submitted via Jitterbug. Please people
use it.
