Progress with ParaGUI

[Eric McDonald <mcdonald@phy.cmich.edu>]

Hello Xconq Developers,

   I am making good progress in preparing Xconq to use the ParaGUI 
toolkit for the SDL interface. The Linux side of things is essentially 
taken care of; I have already made RPM packages for ParaGUI. Most of the 
Windows preparation went pretty smoothly. I have had to fight a few 
compilation issues here and there, but I think that things are almost 
taken care of. I will try to finish up that battle later today so that I 
can go ahead and create a Windows installer for the ParaGUI libraries 
and headers (for developers and others who are interested in building 
the soon-to-be SDL/ParaGUI interface from sources). I have already 
documented where existing Windows installers for the various ParaGUI 
dependencies can be found (and the recommended way to use them), and I 
will make that document available later today after I get some sleep.

   Regular players and game designers should not notice much change with 
the SDL interface, at least not until next weekend.

   Regards,
     Eric
