He has something.  Frankly, I think we should let harold release these
packages.  He's got a firm understanding of the underlying mechanics of
how X works.  Plus if you commit to maintainership of 1.X, then it is
assumed that you will be working on porting 2.X.  Are you ready for this
responsibility?

As for freeciv, I will send you a static lib of Xaw3d to see if that will
help you better.  I would then release free-civ as is.  We can worry about
why the DLL version of Xaw3d isn't working later.  Again, is there any
rush to getting it out?

Cheers,
Nicholas
