I checked in some changes to svn today so that we no longer need the newer libcurl library, so hopefully this makes things easier for others to compile megaglest now. Likewise the g3d viewer and map editor (and megaglest) should be able to compile using xerces 3.1 as well as wxwidgets 2.9.1 so this will hopefully make it easier overall to compile on other distros etc. Things still continue to work with xerces 2.8 and newer libcurl also, but new libcurl features are not used anymore.
This latest change may fix the transparency bug in the g3d viewer too and make it more stable on more distros.
Thanks
