Now that I have a Linux box at home, I understand the need for split
archives better! :-)  The "src" archive is about 1MB, while the "dlb"
is just the doc and lib subdirs and about 700K, so each is floppy-fitting.

There are a huge number of small changes, lots of bug fixes, lots of
library image and game cleanup in preparation for 7.2, some AI fixes
but not enough yet, and a start on X11 cleanups and additions.  Most
notably, the X11 interface now does contour lines.  GDLwise, the
material-to and consumption tables for attacking and firing are now
distinct.  Finally, as part of image cleanup, colors are now 1x1
images, plus the "color" property of terrain is deprecated and will be
invalid in the next snapshot, along with the "row-bytes" property of
images.

Give it a try and report back please - I especially need to hear
about the most critical bugs not already listed in the TODO:

Fix multi-cell move actions to eval move costs and route precisely.

Fix follow-action to work right in all interfaces, toggle with
single-key command.

Fix AI to favor transports more, relative to combat units.

Fix Mac map display of cylindrical area to show 3 extra cells past the seam.

Fix inconsistencies in command doc.

Fix inconsistencies in GDL doc.

Add flags for new countries in nat-names.g.
