Broken since commit 35db407d, v.4.3.12. v4.3.14 and v4.3.15 were
distributed with a stale sources.mk in the tarball. The latter does
not build out of the box because of that.
empdump exports and imports game state as plain text. Limitations: it
currently can't export player bmaps, power report, telegrams,
announcements, message of the day, no-login message and log files.
Exported floating-point values may be inexact. Importing an exported
game state may not result in identical data files; besides the loss of
floating-point precision just mentioned, coordinates are normalized,
and characters beyond a string's terminating zero in a character array
are lost. Bug: importing resets timestamps to zero. It should set
them to the current time.
If gcc's preprocessor chokes, it leaves an empty dependency file
behind, and doesn't touch the object file. If an old object file
exists, and is newer than the .c file, make will then consider the
object file up-to-date. This can lead to nasty version errors.
Move stuff to untangle the ugly cyclic dependencies between the
archives built for selected subdirectories of src/lib/:
* Move common/io.c to empthread/ because it requires empthread stuff
* Move parts of subs/nstr.c to common/nstreval.c to satisfy
common/ef_verify.o
* Move getstarg.c getstring.c onearg.c from gen/ to subs/ because they
require stuff from there
* Move bridgefall.c check.c damage.c empobj.c journal.c maps.c
sectdamage.c from common/ to subs/ because they require stuff from
there
* Move cnumb.c from subs/ to common/ to satisfy common/type.o
* Move log.c fsize.c from common/ to gen/ because they really belong
there
* Move emp_config.c mapdist.c from gen/ to common/ because they really
belong there, and require stuff from libglobal.a
Also package as/ as libas.a to satisfy common/path.o.
Remaining dependencies:

Link order now: liblwp.a libcommon.a libas.a libgen.a libglobal.a
libw32.a. The position of libw32.a is not quite right, but works
anyway.
Detect .git instead of CVS. Use git-ls-files with git, else
$(srcdir)/sources.mk. info/findsubj.pl now gets the info files as
arguments rather than from sources.mk.
Remaking info subjects doesn't quite work, but it was broken similarly
before.

sysdep_init, sysdep_stdin_init, w32_select, w32_signal_handler,

[_WIN32]: New w32 equivalent functions for POSIX functions.
(recvline, sendcmd, tcp_connect, hostconnect, getpass,
main, intr, play, ring_to_file, ring_from_file, doexecute,
doredir) [_WIN32]: Use new WIN32 equivalent functions.
(main) [_WIN32]: Add sysdep_init() to support system dependent
initialization for equivalence functions.
(play) [_WIN32]: Add sysdef_stdin_init() to support system
dependent initialization for reading stdin.
(recv_input, play) [_WIN32]: Replace the calls to ring_to_file()
and select() with WIN32 specific enhanced versions.
Makefile.in: update dependencies with new files.
Make.mk: Add using of getopt.c and getopt.h
from src/lib/w32 directory. Add getopt.c and getopt.h
to tar for client.
(empth_init_signals): New, factored out of start_server(). Call from
empth_init().
(panic): Move to posix.c, internal linkage.
(empth_obj): Add new posix.o
(empth_start, empth_alarm) [EMPTH_POSIX]: Clean up pointless messing
with signal handlers.
(empth_init, empth_wakeup) [EMPTH_POSIX]: Clean up a bit.
order-only prerequisites. They were used to make directories
info.html, info.nr, lib. Make them ahead of time, in configure. Also
fixes distclean not removing them.
files ship.config, plane.config, land.config, nuke.config.
(empfile): Declare the new config files.
(install, installdirs): Install them.
(builtins): New make variable.
(subst.in): Substitute it. Fix prerequisites.
(read_builtin_tables): New.
(main): Call it. This doesn't do anything, because no builtin tables
have been defined.
Chainsaw version (4.00 since Empire 2, ca. 1995) and Wolfpack version
(used to be the version number after the first dot).
(KSU_DIST, CHAINSAW_DIST, WOLFPACK_DIST): Unused, remove.
(version): New.
(EMP_VERS_MAJOR, EMP_VERS_MINOR, EMP_VERS_PATCH): Remove. Users
changed to use version[] instead. version[] is slightly easier to
initialize from configure.ac.
(check-version): No longer needed, remove.
(legal): New.
(vers, main): Show it.
It's distributed in $(srcdir), but required in build directory.
(distclean, bld_distgen): Don't distribute subjects.mk, it's not being
used with a separate build tree.
