[Freeciv] PocketPC version of Free Civ

[Jennifer Glover <barmaid@xxxxxxxxx>]

Funny that this comes up, as I am currently working on a version of FreeCiv
for the Pocket PC.  I have the server running, but haven't started the
client.  I was planning on merging the client and server GUIs to one GUI,
but keeping most of the code the same.  Basically, there would be a few
dialogs for the server commands/options along with all the client ones and
the one GUI would just push the messages to the server or client.  I did not
try to port the windowing libraries that Free Civ depends on now and was
planning on using native GDI calls.

I am finding this to be a pretty big task, and would love to work with some
other people and share ideas.

P.S. the iPaq rules!

We kinda discussed PDA versions a while back, but nothing came of it.  I
have
been thinking about doing a Microwindows version that will run on many
different PDAs and embedded devices, but every time I start thinking about
it, it is just daunting enough to make me go and do something else instead.

This would be nice though.... I would love to play on my Ipaq.  :)
