Everything should already be installed.  I can almost compile the server
and Xaw client on the cvs.freeciv.org machine (Solaris 9 on
UltraSparc). I had to hand edit configure to add -lm in two places just
to get it to complete.

I've also got problems with client/gui-xaw/plrdlg.c, but I think this is
due to the fact that no one is testing this client very much.

Two tickets to follow.
