[Kurt, yesterday I wrote to you at 007@freemail.at and 007@netrek.org
but both messages bounced.  mail.atnet.at said "We do not support
relaying", both cases.  The COW CVS server was not pingable yesterday,
but is working today.]

Red Hat does not, so I shall build for that.

Ah, right.  I shall see if I can get /dev/audio to work for me.

/etc/netrekrc

Currently my script invents an .xtrekrc file if one does not exist, so
that it can point the client to sounds and pixmaps.  Ideally I should
recompile the client to fix this, but I don't have the keys, and I'm not
sure if we should create a new key just for this packaging.
