ggz = gnu gaming zone = libraries that we use for connection and data 
exchange with our metaserver (which is a ggzd currently)

well you are right, because I missed point 5 ;)
5) remove ggz implementation as soon as the new system supports at least 
the same functions that the current ggz implementation does
and of course we need the development of the metaserver as well.

My idea behind that 5 points removal is simply, that ggz specific code 
is spread in some places and i think it would be easier to modularize 
the internet gaming function... not that I see a reason why we would 
need another implementation sometimes, but at least during the time of 
the rewrite, this would make things easier ... and who knows perhaps 
Widelands will once be imported to an opensource battlenet ;).
