[crossfire] Shortening experience bar for GTK2 client

[Kevin Zheng]

Greetings,

Those are some great ideas; I'd like to try them out myself. Unfortunately I'm 
not very versed in the client source and I'd like some pointers on where I 
should start hacking.

Where can I find some developer's documentation for the client?

Sincerely,
Kevin Zheng
