Xaw is lame, you guys should do a port to gtk+!!

Yes, we know. There is a port being done now. If you'd like to help,
the person to speak to is Per I. Mathisen: perrin@kvalito.no. 

If you'd like to look at the common GTK/Xaw client version, look here: 

ftp://ulven.ifi.ntnu.no/pub/freeciv/fic-gamma2.tar.gz. 

To install the client get freeciv-1.7.1.tar.gz from freeciv.org or the
above mentioned ftp site and: 

1) gzip -dc freeciv-1.7.1.tar.gz | tar xfv - 
2) rm -rf freeciv-1.7.1/client 
3) gzip -dc fic-gamma2.tar.gz | tar xfv - 

Build freeciv as usual. 

* You need Gtk+ 1.1.2 and Imlib 1.8.1 at least to build the GTK+ client * 

As is stands now the GTK+ freeciv client has the following directories: 

freeciv-1.7.1/client * common (read: non GUI) code goes here. 
freeciv-1.7.1/client/gui-gtk * GTK+ related files go here. 
freeciv-1.7.1/client/gui-xaw * Xaw related files go here. 

gui-gtk/ and gui-xaw/ have the code for the dialogs.
