This frustration with libgag is the exact reason I decided to begin
the QT port. The port needs YOU!

A way to do 1.1 before 1.0 is to skip 1.0 and aim at 2.0. Globulation
'2' final version should be '2.0', right?

Indeed, we should identify the parts that need a rewrite: GUI, network
(nuage wants this), in-game script, maybe others. But work should be
done in different branches so each can go at its own speed.
