[xp-a] XPilot 4.4.0alpha4

[<xpi...@li...>]

Due to all the very helpful feedback we were able to
improve the alpha3 version.  Now I think it is better
to stop using alpha3 and upgrade to alpha4 if you can.
You can ftp it from:

ftp://ftp.xpilot.org/pub/test/alpha/xpilot-4.4.0alpha4.tar.gz

Or better use the "cvs upgrade" command in the xpilot
directory if you use CVS.

Here is a list of changes since alpha3:

! The option parser internals have been overhauled.  Now for each option we
! can specify from which sources it can be set (command line, defaults file,
! or the map file).  And we can control which options can be seen by clients.
! 
! When an option list was requested options with type valSec or valPerSec
! were not corrected for FPS.  This made them look very different from
! their values in the map file.  This has now been fixed.
! 
! Now a few options are not listed when a client requests to see 
! the list of server options.  These include: robotFile, mapFileName,
! defaultsFileName, scoreTableFileName, and password.
! 
! Added a -motdFileName server option.  This option specifies which
! file to use for the MOTD which is displayed when clients join.
! Its default value is determined at compile time, or gotten from
! the environment variable XPILOTSERVERMOTD.

And Guido and me worked on the asteroids to improve their breaking.

Hmm, I forgot to mention the bugfix for cannons using items which
could crash the server.

Paul should be happy that the -motd option has reappeared... ;-)
