Well, the Xaw client has been poorly maintained for quite a while (more
than a year i believe). It will require some additional effort if you want
to add the  other features that are contained in the GTK+ client in the
future. I believe the Amiga (MUI) and Win32 clients were based from the
GTK+ client.
I can understand why that was your first choice since i guess you are
probably much more familiarized with the Xaw client.

Making the auto* patch is pretty easy. If you desire, there are people
here who can do that for you. And BTW, by developer consensus some time
ago we decided the name is Freeciv not FreeCiv. It is even easier to
type. :-)
