Log Message:
Cygwin makefile changes: fixed up a bunch of problems to get build to work, still not
perfect as libdir not resolving correctly.  Also removed CYGWIN define from code and
placed it as a compiler runtime define.  Progress of Cygwin build is that client runs, but
select() is broken.  Most likely related to struct fd_set definition.
Added observer support for shrink phasers, color phaser, warn and vary shields, and
removed observer support for detcircle.
Fixed detcircle so turning it off really does turn it off (oops).
Fixed color phaser with regards to FPS changes, so it works at all framerates.
Added observer support for showArmy for locking onto planets.
Split varyShields into 2 netrekrc options, varyShields and varyShieldsColor, to be
able to vary either/neither/both shield graphic and shield color with damage.
Changed defaults for FPS client/server values back to 10 from 50.  Let the user
have it in netrekrc if they want to request a higher rate, and don't assume servers
are running at 50 FPS.  Require that feature packet to be sent to increase the
update rate.

 Netrek XP 2006, Version 1.2: (Released Feb-2007)
-- the varyShields option now scales shield damage properly, previously it would go straight
-  from green to red shields, now there is an intermediate yellow state as well.  Damage threshholds
-  are the somewhat standard 33%/66% for transition between green-yellow and yellow-red.
+- the showArmy option now allows observers to lock onto a planet and see the army count
+- the varyShields option now only controls shield graphic, not shield color
+- new netrekrc option "varyShieldsColor: (on)/off" which colors shield based on damage,
+  and fixes a previous problem where shield color would go straight from green to red.

 - added "autoRotate: on/(off)" to automatically rotate the galaxy when you enter so that
   your team and largest other team are on the left hand side of the galaxy, if possible.
 - added "playerListBlankZeroKills: (on)/off" to choose whether or not to display 0.00 kills
