[crossfire] building very old versions

[John Floren]

I got the client and server building from these with very little
hacking. I had to prevent it from building crossedit, which was having
some issues with includes.

Here's it running (the window is X-forwarded from my Linux box):

Are there any copyright/licensing issues with me just bundling up
these slightly modified versions and sticking them up to download
somewhere?
