Some of this music is very good. But it is a bit big. Also, we don't have
code to play ogg files yet.

Do we have permission to split out some ambient loops or parts of the
songs to use separately?

I've long wanted to move over to .ogg for sound effects, but mostly I've
been waiting for esound to die quietly first. Right now I have too much on
my plate to start working on it.

As an aside, I have packed and uploaded some public domain images that I
collected with freeciv in mind a few years ago, in incoming as
pd_images.zip. I created the image flash.jpg, which was my idea for a new
intro graphic. I still find it kinda cute. It is based on a NASA map of
the Earth.
