I updated the code to the current CVS and fixed some errors.

I copied the start screens of http://arianne.sourceforge.net/ and
http://www.ospace.net/ to see how difficult the creation is and to
adapt the code.

The screens are available at
http://www.freeciv.org/~rfalke/fs2_pics/. Since I broke the code with
some of the changes (nation screen and main map are no more) I can't
show any code. But I made a gif animation how it runs with the
built-in screen dumper. These are in the same directory and bzip'ed
because the gifs are 14mb.

In the same directory are the files for the main screen and the
connect which I used. So if someone wants to make a real Freeciv
screen and not some cheap ripoff like I did please feel free to do so.
