This just isn't true. The numbers are hardcoded between the caller of
get_citizen_sprite and this code in
client/tilespec.c:tilespec_lookup_sprite_tags()

  /* This uses internal code for citizens array/index: */
  SET_SPRITE(citizen[0], "citizen.entertainer");
  SET_SPRITE(citizen[1], "citizen.scientist");
...  
  SET_SPRITE(citizen[10], "citizen.angry_1");

The patch also contains a lot of popdown functions for other GUIs. Are
they really required to compiling SDL?
