On client-level cheating ... the way we avoid it in Netrek is to use
binary authentication.  To play on most servers one must obtain a client
that was compiled by the development team.

This code may be easily re-used for Crossfire.

The drawback is that the group needs to provide clients that are
pre-built rather than just distribute source.
