Not boring for me - it now compiles on OS X again.

It's really come along a lot since I last saw it.  I don't know which of 
the following problems are just because I'm using an unsupported OS, and 
which are more universal.  Well, here goes:

- It segfaults if it can't find the data for a planet on startup.  I 
think it's trying to use curses to write an error message, before curses 
is initialised, but I'm not sure about this [gdb says the error happens 
in wrefresh]

- The cursor goes all over the place.  In shops, it is one line below 
the current item.  In the race/stats selection, it seemed to be heading 
for somewhere pretty random on the first column.  In normal play, it is 
in the top right corner, unless there is a message there [this last one 
makes me instinctively press space a lot during combat, which was not a 
good idea :-) ]

- Wilderness travel is incredibly boring.

- There is no option to examine cybernetic enhancements in the shop 
selling them.

- If I press something that is not a valid command, it still takes up a 
turn.

That said, I am enjoying this thing.

Keep up the good work
