[crossfire] Crossfire Client 1.72.0 is available

[Preston Crow]

The "cleanup" of command line options seems to have removed almost all 
of them, including many useful ones.  There isn't even an option for 
selecting the server anymore!  I really need the mapscale and iconscale 
options for high DPI displays--those have also been removed from the UI 
settings.
