Patch by MistBlade.

basically there should be no more server freezes when using
problematic name servers or with problematic client machine names.
on systems with POSIX Threads support a per-player thread is spawned
to lookup the user and host name. all other systems get the client
machine's IP as information.
Thanks to everyone in the greedmud mailing-list for info on the bug.

bug in the alias code & a memory leak in 'unalias' so here's a fix for
that too.
* src/string.c: cleaned up string_add(), removed a couple of
useless functions.
2001-02-06 Vasco Costa <vasc@rnl.ist.utl.pt>
* src/merc.h, src/hunt.c: changed hunt code yet again.
after reading SMAUG's hunt code again i realized it's much more
readable than this relic of SillyMUD we used which is also a simple
breadth-first search. this code is shorter than SMAUG's though.
* src/fight.c: fixed bug in do_shoot().
Bug reported by Adrian Cartmell.
Fix by MistBlade.
* src/comm.c: changed ident code, added a couple of checks.

instead of the whole char_list.

* rewrote XBV read/write routines.

susceptibility to the same RIS type properly.

* README: updated.
* doc/clans.txt: rewritten to be more informative.
* FAQ: updated.
* totally rewritten bit system.
* new mobprograms code, this one allows nested if's and is cleaner.
this means that the new mobprograms are incompatible with the old ones,
however they should be easy to hand convert.
* sites.txt: new file listing known GreedMud sites.
* src/fight.c: tweaked xp_compute() formula slightly.
* src/fight.c: some other minor tweaks to make mobs a bit harder.
* src/update.c: fixed nasty bug in mobile_update().

types.
* changed 'act' bitvector to use extended bitvectors instead of int's.
* changed lots of integer values in the 'char_data' and 'pc_data'
structures from 'int' to 'int_16'.
* moved primary stats from 'pc_data' to 'char_data' so mobiles can also
have objects which boost their stats. also made them level dependent
for mobiles - i.e. the higher the mobile's level, the higher the stats.
* src/fight.c: fixed bug (fire shield, chill shield and electric
shield all made DAM_FIRE).
* src/comm.c: changed code for colour() and colourconv() so that it now
shows the {'s to a player without colour on, etc.
