Recent Xconq improvements


It is no longer possible to crash the tcltk interface by just closing a map
window. This was a major bug that should have been fixed a long time ago,
but it was a little tricky to solve in the right way.

I have now also implemented a Windows menu similar to that in the Mac
interface, where all available maps (also those that have been closed) are
listed and can be readily accessed.

If you have only one map left and try to close it Xconq will now refuse to
do so. This is not because of the crashes, which have been fixed, but
because Unix and Windows users need at least one open map to access the
Windows menu and get back into the game (Mac users would keep their menubar
even if all windows were closed).

The new Help menu has already been discussed. Thanks to Peter Garrone for
the original idea. It makes the help system much more accessible.

Both Xconq and Imfapp have received new high resolution icons for Windows
XP and Mac OSX.

There has been a major overhaul of the window managing code in the Mac
interface. A number of bugs have been fixed, and Xconq now runs without
problems on all Mac OS versions from 8.1 to X.2.

As you already know, Eric has been busy with the Makefiles and the new
Windows installer, but he also had time to add compound terrain visibility
and snprintf support in the last few weeks.

For more details, see the ChangeLog (or subsribe to the CVS update list if
you want the latest news).
