linux-colonize v0.5-alpha

First release.

What works:

1. Most of the UI, if rough.
2. Founding colonies, producing stuff, buildings, buying and selling with Europe.
3. Combat.
4. War of independence and victory.

What emphatically does not work properly: European AI.

Bugs abound; I've only played two campaigns to conclusion, as English and Dutch. But playing and winning is definitely possible.

Requirements:

• (On Linux) glibc 2.17 or newer (that's like 2012 tech; you're probably fine).
• THE ORIGINAL GAME FILES. Get it from Steam or GOG or wherever, and put the files in the COLONIZE directory next to the executable.

Please report any bugs.
