Hello Daniel,

i currently try to update the wiki page for nations but since the README file 
seems to be based on the wiki page i'm not able to find the references to 
class/group issues. 
i saw that at least a hint for required empty line at end of the rules file 
got added to the README.nations ... i plan to revamp the attributes section 
on the wiki page to be more in a table style and to add a short description 
of that attributes. i guess i'll have to parse the nations.c/h files by hand?

any wishes how to keep svn readmes and wiki pages in sync? i think i should 
change the wiki first. but this could lead to trouble moving table / html 
structures to plain text readme files!?

is there some other place where i can copy/paste more detailed informations 
about current requirements for nations files?
my english is not common standard, i fear. so already existing documentation 
would solve the problem best way ;)
