Bug Description
It would be useful if spectators could join a game that is already in progress. I've seen some examples of people on IRC missing out from spectating a game by just a few minutes :-)

I thought there was already a bug report for this ... seems I was wrong.
Well, theoretically this is straightforward: as soon as a spectator wants to join in, he gets a fresh savegame as a snapshot and the playercommands streamed. its client can then catch up and become a normal spectator. I think this is quite hard to implement correctly though.
