Kudos
First, let me say a big thank you to all the testers who helped me shape this port into what it has now become — your feedback has been beyond helpful! Your names have been set in stone for millenia to come in the README file.
Furthermore, I would like to congratulate the Battle for Wesnoth team and contributors for creating this awesome game, which is sufficiently worthy of being ported to just about every platform out there.
Download
And, without further ado, I give you: Download (Readme; Signature; Public Key)
Further Notes
I recommend that you do not download the above bundle on your OLPC XO-1, due to the large filesize, and general unresponsiveness I have found with the user interface. Instead, you should download the bundle onto a USB flash drive, and transfer it to the XO using the Journal (insert flash drive, open Journal, select flash drive, select Wesnoth bundle, select Copy to Journal from toolbar).
I haven’t yet created an entry on the Activity repository, mainly because of the bundle’s large filesize relative to most other bundles. On the other hand, if anybody wants to create an entry, feel free. All I ask is that you link to my above download link, so I can count the downloads.

Awesome. I created an entry on the OLPC Activities page. Totally worthy, you rock!!
It runs quite well btw, it takes a little while to load, but general game play is pretty good. Set accelerated speed to on and it is even better
