I received lots of mail asking how to make freeciv work under 95/98/NT.
A port of freeci under windows will be appreciated.

I prefer this option as we already have a gtk+ client.

I don't know which part of the code can cause problems. There are
perhaps some direct calls to X. Personally, I'm for helping you
