[crossfire] Crossfire Client 1.72.0 is available

[David Hurst]

Just wanted to add my 2 cents and say that anything that makes the client
more accessible on windows is a big plus to me. Even though i'm happy to
set the game up on linux, most of my friends are not, by offering support
to windows we can gain access to a larger player base.

Saru
