Berlios unreachable
Berlios seems to be down again. Can't the handle some traffic
from FM or is it DOS again? Anyway, there is an unofficial
mirror of lincity on www.openftp.de/openFTP...
but they have more adds than Berlios.

Suggestions
Just some suggestions:
* The file is 33mb for source download. Is there anyway this can possibly be brought down to about 25 or so?
* The game needs sliders to adjust music, sfx, and resolution. Would it be possible to have them in the next version?
* Make it so all the building choices autoshow when hovering over the left menu bar, rather than having to right click the buttons to pop out the options.
