include it to include bsd.pkg.mk themselves. Convert to use buildlink.mk
files and mark freeciv packages as USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY. Include zlib's

WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 1.11.0:
- Readline support added to the server.
- May now disperse initial units over specified area. See "dispersion"
server option.

than the following clients. See "cmdlevel" server option.

tile wished to be transformed into ocean. Default is 1.
- Added Nuclear Fallout. Industrialization and population still
generate Pollution. Dropping a Nuke generates Nuclear Fallout, which
is distinct from Pollution. There is a new command to clean Fallout
vs. cleaning Pollution. Fallout contributes to Nuclear Winter --
which also changes terrain, but tends to Desert, Tundra and Glacier.
Added a new "cooling" icon to the info area to indicate the progress
towards Nuclear Winter, and also an icon for Fallout on the main map.
AIs are now more aggressive at cleaning up Pollution, but not Fallout.

separate values in game.ruleset files.

reveal the correct supported and present unit lists.

if they contained enemy units.
