Finally got around to installing OpenBSD (rev 3.3) in a vmware partition.
Found that several #if BSD's were inappropriate for modern BSD's. Haven't
installed FreeBSD or NetBSD, but based on reading their man pages,
these changes are needed there too. Mostly due to POSIX time() signature.

Recent patches broke rubbing gold coins on touchstones; for the
!GOLDOBJ configuration, the character's money would be lost and the
program leaked memory. That problem was already present for rubbing
gold on other gray stones.
This also gives a gem advantage back to archeologists: they
can comprehend touchstone results when the stone is uncursed rather
than require it to be blessed. (I gave gnome characters that benefit
too. Why gnomes and not dwarves? I don't have a reasonable answer
for that....) To go along with that, make A's initial touchstone
start uncursed rather than blessed, so that other characters finding
them in bones won't get an immediate benefit from them for the 20%
of the time that they're not cursed when saving bones.
Much of this is whitespace cleanup. I reformatted use_stone()
completely.
to make that field unconditional, otherwise
NetHack won't compile without TEXTCOLOR defined.
Also provides at least an interim solution for the has_color()
problem that Warwick pointed out.
Lastly, Archeologists know touchstones.
