(made database.c an include file, as it should be, and moved event[] & status[]
to exec.c & timing.c)
made changes to main.c & INTERMUD
***
started work on a new output scheme, the mud currently only checks for avail
FD's with reads... new scheme is to group writes into a queue, ala tinyfugue.
***
changed main.c around a little, keeping input file descriptors seperate from
output & exception... made the player output stream buffered, the routines
could be made simpler (Note: this is part of the real mud)
removed code: socket messages (causing crashes)
made it so that intermud messages are sent through a stream
(should fix the cpu-eating bug :)

made it so that bob will talk back if you're the only one in the room with
him and/or you say something with the word "bob" in it.
bob will show up on the who list (not hosts/users/etc YET) even though he's
a normal mobile...
(changes in commands.c & mobile.c)
BUG FIX: the mailer died on messages without the delim character.
BUG FIX: made it so that the mud won't flush output to a lost connection...
when the mud is shutdown, the nologin file now has a port so that when the
experimental mud is shutdown, it won't mess up the official mud.
BUG FIX: now the pid files should be deleted properly...
BUG FIX: the mailer was trying to send mail to mobiles who have the same
names as players, only happened when the players were off-line.

tested editor a little bit
put in option: delete [num-num]
put in option: quote text

it will now save cloned objects on quit (may or may not be good)

put the editor into the mailer, a big part from get_notes is missing, also:
1) save will cause multiple messages to be sent :(
probably more...
Found a bug in spells.c, hopefully fixed it but if there's a problem, it should
give us some info...
made it so that the mud won't hang when a player file has 0 bytes
now the mailer will page output after saving it to a temporary file
moved some things around in xredit.c: now it informs you of new mail when
it actually arrives...
VERB_GCHAT, VERB_CHANNEL, VERB_INFO, VERB_WIZLIST, VERB_ACTIONS, VERB_POLICY,
VERB_CONVERSE, VERB_OPTIONS, VERB_KLOCK & VERB_SAVE all crashed when a player
was aliased.
