Although the first newbie patch was approved...

It never seemed to have made it into the repository in
www.netrek.org. 

I went ahead and re-downloaded the latest:

darcs get http://www.netrek.org/repos/netrek-server/

Then, manually applied my changes. 

Then did a:

darcs record

and 

darcs send -o newbiepatch.dpatch

Here is the attached file. 

Hopefully, it will make it in netrek.org and stay
there this time.
