DICE: Statement zum Linux Server

to reduce the number of flamewars on what we're doing and not here's a first status mail on what DICE is currently doing with the linux server:

• Move to the gcc-3.x compiler (This will generate better code and increase the server performance, but might require that users of older distributions use a statically linked executable)

• Bungee effect and double bazooka reload issues (I'm currently looking in to these bugs. They are probably related to networking issues, and a fix for these might fix other bugs such as the weapon zoom issue as well)

• Internal code restructuring (The goal is to reduce the size of the server binary by omitting code that isn't currently in use. This will also reduce the memory footprint of the dedicated server)

• Road to Rome compatibility fixes (We will be evaluating this and hope to have it fixed with the next release)
