I have a hard time tracing this down since i don't know how it is built 
or where the error logs go.  I think they go into /home/andi/winlog/ ?

but this implies just that the windows binary (which depends on the 
daily snapshot) is being built before the snapshot is finished.  This 
could happen if they are separate cronjobs (the daily snapshot can take 
many hours to build because of the useless msgmerge runs).

As a workaround I could run make dist on the CVS-head version of freeciv 
and commit the changes to CVS.  This would bring up-to-date all the 
outdated translations, and allow future "make dist" runs to be much 
faster (5x-50x faster).
