I had a quick look at the stuff:

* the originally-imported source appears to be (or be based on)
  0.90-pa8, which makes it a close relative to the code we have now.
  Would you by chance have a copy of 0.90-pa8 somewhere ?

* the v2 tag compiles and seems playable (will have check a bit more
  ;), with a much larger City of Rampart

* HEAD does not build, looks like some files were not committed, and
  seems to require libgtk1.2-dev while "v2" kept it optional.
  The gtk stuff seems to be a "curses inside gtk1" mode without any
  interest.
