announce when a new game is ready to join

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From RZ***Brandon <bgching@gmail.com>:

I'm not sure if Pierre is aware that some server operators are running a
"custom" version that announces to players of a previous game that a new
game is ready to join. The logic behind this is that this prevents people
from missing a round and falling behind by 2-3 frags.

Admins who logs on to the server already see this message when a new game is 
ready.
So the hack is just to make it visible to anyone. It's been too long ago I 
messed
with the code, so I don't remember where you change it.

I don't think this is from a custom patch, it has been in the code for a while. 
Maybe somebody compiled from source?

This issue is broken in the latest revision from SVN (or maybe was never fixed 
in the first place?).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup a dedicated server. (For example, you could run > "quadra -dedicated 
-peace -endtime 1"
2. Play and finish a game.
3. Wait for the server to start a new game.

There is no announcement that a new game is ready, and there should be an 
announcement even if the server is not recording.
