Yeah, we have been working on some changes for a bit.  It is almost
working at this point.  Only discs in ultimate fail occasionally.
Ultimately, we would like to submit them for a new release of xtank.
At this point, however, I haven't heard from the authors yet.

If you would like some basic change files that you can merge with
your stuff, let me know...
