[crossfire] [PATCH 0/1] GTK 2+ client: fix for locale dir. reference in Makefile.am; other autotools issues

[James Lopeman]

I'm not sure what the problem with the patch is either .. the command just 
hangs. [ Fedora 14 ]. I could be age of my distro ..... or some local issue. 
I've edited the patch down to basics and such and it acts the same .. weird.


I thought the curl types.h issue was fixed in svn a while back. .. post 1.60 It 
came up on irc ( #crossfire on freenode ).
