 Before doing any non-trivial, please discuss it first in the IRC channel.
 Serious bugs (crash the game, high priority):
 - The game crashes when there's no sound driver available
 - In melee, after battle, the game crashes.
  The ship icon is used when already freed. This happens because the old
  3DO code used to save the entire selection window as one image, while
  Chris' new code redraws after each round.
  Possible solutions:
  - revert to the old behaviour
  - delay the free until the memory is really no longer needed.
    Make sure that the memory is always freed, so no memory leak is
    introduced.
  - reload the icon when needed
  It looks like the same bug is present for the full game, though it isn't
  fatal there (the memory is freed but not yet overwritten).
 Glitches (don't crash the game, medium priority):
 - When fast forwarding voices, sound stops. (SDL_mixer cannot start a sample
  from anywhere but the start)
 - pressing arrow keys in the main menu moves the selection in the
  wrong direction (both left, right and up, down)
 - The melnorme don't charge for fuel when you ask "fill 'er up"
  Instead, they pay you the money.
 - Autopilot indicator keeps blinking when entering combat, when autopilot
  was on.
 - savegames created in a game from debug and release compiles are not
  interchangable
 - discolouring of progress slider in commander discussion after having just
  killed the Ilwrath ship (or is it supposed to be like that?)
 - momentary slowdown of scrolling in hyperspace about once per second
  You can see this if you look very closely, or increase the resolution of
  the frame counter to 10 times per second and start with -ttl.
 Implementation bugs (low priority):
 - The main thread is still created by a direct all to the SDL function,
  instead of through the thread lib. It would cause a crash otherwise.
  Probably the memlib isn't initialised then (which the thread lib uses).
 Stuff still to do (large):
 - add a Key Jamming program
 - add some way to configure your keys
 - add some way to configure the PC/3DO choices.
 - make stuff endian-safe
  In particularly 24-bits scaling is known to be unsafe.
 - 3d planet view when entering orbit
 - some packaging system for resources. zlib looks like something
  which is suitable for this.
 Stuff still to do (medium size):
 - oscilloscope
 - loading teams in melee
 - remove libtool dependancy
  This will probably mean the empty dummy.c files can be removed too.
  (note that src/sc2code/dummy.c DOES contain data)
 - better command-line parsing
  getoptlong is usable if we include the source to getoptlong for non-gnu
  systems.
 - lines and colouring of planet surface display when scanning
 - get all code to compile without warnings, when the most strict
  checks are performed (not just -W -Wall in gcc)
 - try to speed up resource loading. It looks to be much slower now
  than it needs to be.
 Stuff still to do (small):
 - make sure save files are independant of endianness, so that Mac savefiles
  can be used on the pc (and the other way around).
 - make a file types.h, which defines non-confusing integer types.
  There are at the moment 3 systems: int16, DWORD, and Sint16.
  I suggest we keep int16, as 'word' is confusing. Sint16 is an SDL define
  and should only be used in SDL calls.
 Questions:
 - remove src/sc2code/test.c?
 - Is there some way to automatically do CRLF translations on commits,
  with the -t and -f options in cvswrapper disabled by sourceforge?
 - What is the displist stuff for? Is it needed at all?
 - Do we want another utils/ dir? It could be useful, to put all the conversion
  tools we use(d).
 - are there still threads killing themselves instead of just exiting?
 - w_memlib used (now commented out) MS Windows functions to show messages
  when memory couldn't be allocated. If we want to have those return, some
  work will have to be done. If not, there's some dead code to remove.
 - The functions like HMalloc don't guarantee success, so checks should be
  done, and are even done in some places. But it might make more sense to
  let HMalloc abort the program if it fails (there's little to do anyhow),
  so we can rely on HMalloc returning a non-NULL value.
  If we want, we could allocate a block of reserve memory at the start,
  which we can free when no more memory is available, to allow an emergency
  save.
 - How about an ISO image for a self-contained linux CD which boots into SC2?
