The real solution is clearly to make a char* get_popup_info(int x, int 
y) function in mapctrl_common and have the various GUIs call it.  I'm 
reluctant to mess with the GUIs I don't know (especially win32 and mui 
which I can't test) but I might be able to do it.  In any case, I don't 
see a reason for the adding-diplomacy-info patch to wait for the 
commonizing-popup-info patch, which I'll work on if I get a chance.
