CMake works perfectly on Linux and will help Crossfire to be more portable
on Windows. TBH, I don't understand your point at all.

btw: Good job, Kevin and many thanks!

The 1.72.0 client build for Windows is now available on SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/files/crossfire-client/1.72.0/

Some network issues were fixed between the latest snapshot and the
1.72.0 client, so you should upgrade when convenient.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents and say that anything that makes the client
more accessible on windows is a big plus to me. Even though i'm happy to
set the game up on linux, most of my friends are not, by offering support
to windows we can gain access to a larger player base.
