CF: Crossfire 0.95.2 package naming



Minor nit ...

Package file naming on the ftp site.  There is;

	client-0.95.2.tgz			the client
	crossfire-0.95.2-arch.tar.bz2		the archs
	crossfire-0.95.2-maps.tar.bz2		the maps
	crossfire-0.95.2.tar.bz2		the server

"client" as a file name does not say it is a crossfire client.  I
regularly download files into a common packages directory, and I have
lost the crossfire client before because it has no crossfire name.

Adopt the naming you have for maps and arch ...

	crossfire-0.95.2-client.tar.bz2

If there's risk of people downloading the server by mistake, change that
package name as well ...

	crossfire-0.95.2-server.tar.bz2

I know you may want to someday disconnect server and client versions,
but I don't see this as a problem.  People will fairly soon realise that
the latest client goes with the latest server.
