If you want to ensure that you always have the latest files, then I 
would strongly recommend that you use CVS. There is a text file called 
'INSTALL-win.txt' in which I give some pointers on how to go about that 
under Windows. Even if you don't intendto compile a fresh copy of Xconq 
from sources, you can still use CVS to get updates. Also, see:

Details...?  (I'm not going to have a chance to test your changes until 
tomorrow.)

If you want to improve aspects of the capture behavior, there are many 
things you can do with the existing GDL tables. These things do not 
require modifications to the Xconq sources. See the documentation on the 
'occupant-allows-capture-by' table and company, and the 'protection' and 
related tables.
