Updated Xconq snapshots for MacOS and Windows

Updated Xconq snapshots for MacOS and Windows

[Hans Ronne]

I have updated the MacOS Native (9 and X) MacOS TCL and Windows TCL
snapshots. See http://sources.redhat.com/xconq/ftp.html for more
information on the respective packages.

Direct links to the new files:

These are all complete packages that don't rely on any other files.

I have also added the latest version of Eric's complete installer for
Windows to the ftp site (this is the same file that Eric already posted a
few weeks ago on his site):

ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/xconq/xconq-7.5.pre/Win32/TCL/xconq_20040704_setup.

There have been many bug fixes and improvements since the last snapshot.
This includes:

* Improvements to IMFApp

* Sound support added to the Mac OSX app
* Bug fix involving save/restore of the independent side AI
* Independent side now appears in the tcltk side list if active
* Rewritten resupply and repair code
* Significant improvements and bug fixes to the unit view code
* Ability to use many different images for one unit type added
* Ability to use individual images for specific units added
* Improvements to the game blurb

* Bug fixes to the feature legend drawing code
* Bug fixes to the menu drawing code on Windows
* Bug fixes to the AI and Designer menu items

The size of the program being reported by the Redhat FTP server is 
wrong. The server claims that the file is 852K, but, in reality, it 
should be about 5 MB. I would not recommend that anyone trust this file 
(from the Redhat FTP server anyway) until a complete copy of it is present.

It can still be gotten from:

Something strange did indeed happen, but the file should be OK now.

There have been many bug fixes since the last snapshot, in particular to
the MacOS Native app. The kernel has new wrecked unit code. Two new games,
Eric McDonald's Wreckreation and Elijah Meeks' Second Korean War, have been
added.

These are complete packages that don't rely on any other files.

Bug reports and other feedback is, as always, welcome.
