        It wasn't familiarity, actually, it *was* because it was behind the

and compare and with Gtk I ran the risk of conflicting with current 
development.

        All right, I'll just rename the directory on my own and hope someone 
helps me integrate it once I get CVS up.

        Sorry, I've been a Java programmer for a couple of years and the
StuddlyCaps starts rotting your brain after a while (be thankful I'm not
calling it freeCiv :).
