[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#8528) Move text building functions into one file

["Raimar Falke" <i-freeciv-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8528 >


The gui-fs has a lot of text building functions. The mapview has
already 300 lines and this will double in size. Most of them are
various labels and tooltips. I want to have this extracted from the
"core" mapview. Either in client/gui-fs/text.c or client/text.c.

Attached is a patch which _starts_ this for the current CVS (no
gui-fs) and client/text.c. 

Advantages over putting these in client/gui-*/foobar.c should be
clear. Advantages over using client/foobar_common.c: less cluttering
of the common file. Advantages over using client/gui-*/text.c: higher
chance of sharing.

Another advantage is that the text.c is build very regularly (less
chance to make something wrong, higher chance a non-expert programmer
can change something).

Also note that text.c uses some best text building method I found in
the code. It is really easy to code, easy to verify BUT safe.
