Re: CF: what did I do? (so I don't do it again)

[James Cameron <>]

If there were no other players on the map, just save the map, the
player, and wait for the player to come back with a new connection. 
Then, offer a five to ten second countdown before the simulation
resumes.

Also, the "wimp" run-away could be applied to a player if there are
other players on the map.

Use the Netrek method ... give the server a call-back port number so
that the client can recover from an unexpected disconnect caused by
routing or hang-up issues.

Further, in the gtkclient, detect window close events and force a quit
to be sent to the server.  Handle SIGINT the same way.
