      What should we do about getting a 1.6.0 server packed up and set.

Relevant opinion to this discussion:

The most useful thing we could do to increase stability on Windows (and 
everything else for that matter) would be to focus on using GTK 2.0 or 
SDL exclusively.  It would behoove us to look into focusing all our 
client coding resources on one client instead of keeping the current 
divide, since portability will be *MUCH* easier if we don't have to 
fight with several different code bases and above all it will make 
designing for the client very much simpler.
