[Freeciv] Re: im a bit confoooooosed!!!

["Todd Goodman" <tsg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect part of the problem is that some people using
Windows don't know what "You need an X Server" means.

I should also make sure the instructions are spelled out
on my web page (although the binaries are on www.freeciv.org
now).

I really really want to try to get a native Windows build
together (using Tor Lillqvist's native GTK work).

This is why I've been delayed in getting a 1.9.0 release
out (and because the i8n stuff caused me some problems).

I'll try to get a 1.9.0 Windows X release out first and
then go back to the native Windows release.
