CGoban + GNUGo for Zaurus Clamshell

Unable to find a decent go for the my Zaurus c860 I decided to create my own from CGoban and GNUGo.

Here is what I did find:

• http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=660.  This looks identical to the go included with the 2.38 5500 Sharp ROM.  It was not optimized for the larger c860 display and is somewhat inflexible.
• http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1519.  GNUGo 3.2.  Excellent game, but no GUI.
• http://radio.weblogs.com/0102385/categories/zaurus/2004/01/04.html.  GNUGo 3.4 and CGoban.  Excellent.   CGoban errors on install but still runs.  This was exactly what I was looking for however the screen was not optimized for smaller displays.

This port has only been tested with Cacko/Qt 1.21 on my c860 with X/qt for X11, more information about Cacko/Qt can be found at http://www.zaurususergroup.com.

The included GNUGo is probably no different than any other, I built it for the sake of building it.  If you prefer another just place it in /usr/local/bin.

The CGoban has been patched to provide the following features:

• Initial .cgobanrc to use /usr/local/bin/gnugo and defaults to black/human, white/gnugo.
• Replaced unreadable stipple with gray.  Why any application after the 80s uses stipple is beyond belief.  It is unreadable.
• Reformatted the screen layout to be optimal for 640x480 displays.
