Crossfire 0.91.0 released



There are three separate tar archives in the Crossfire 0.91.0
distribution.

crossfire-0.91.0.tar.gz contains the actual program code, as well as
premade archetype, bitmaps, and xpm files.

crossfire-0.91.0-maps.tar.gz contains all the maps.  Some maps have
been made to look better with XPM images, others have had minor bug
fixes.  Some 'new' maps were also added.  These include Magara and
some of the esben maps.  The Magara maps are as an island, the esben
maps were added as towers and buildings to the old maps.  These maps
came from the 'old' (crossfire 0.90.0), which were removed when the
chico maps were added.

crossfire-0.91.0-arch.tar.gz contains the unpacked archetype (arch)
directory.  This file is not needed if you just want to compile the
games and play.  The contents of this archive is used to create the
archetypes, bmaps, font, and X PixMap (XPM) files.  You only need it
if you want to add new archetypes, or mess around with the existing
ones.

There are many changes in this version of crossfire, look at the
CHANGES file for a complete list.

Several people have asked that I make patch files (context diffs) for
upgrading.  I looked into it for this version, and the problem is that
the diffs of many of the files in the lib directory (font and xpm
files) makes it so that a patch file will not be any smaller than just
grabbing the new release.
