- If you have Gnome installed on solaris, the GETRES support wouldn't build.
I don't have access to a solaris system with Gnome installed, but hacked
unixconf.h to force the GETRES code itself to be compiled. So, I believe the
unixres.c change will work for folks really using Gnome on Solaris.
Whether the rest of the gnome code will build there is beyond me.
- I accidentally left TIMED_DELAY defined and the Solaris build failed.
While solaris has usleep(), this is not part of SVR4 as far as I can tell.
But, SysV does have poll, so I implemented msleep() for SysV systems in
terms of poll. So, you can now define TIMED_DELAY on any SYSV build.
<Someone> thought the incorrect grammar in the messages was due to scatter()
changing the quan of treefruit, but in fact, it was due to treefruit
referring to the wrong object (there is also a theoretical possibility that
treefruit can refer to a merged object with the wrong count). Create a temp
object for use in the message to avoid these possibilities.

Add missing handling for trapped containers and for Schroedinger's Cat
to the #tip command. Also, after tipping out the contents of a cursed bag
of holding, its weight would still reflect any items destroyed during the
process.
Releasing Schroedinger's Cat from a box which is being carried would
place the monster at the coordinates of wherever the box was last on the
floor instead of adjacent to the current location.
Also, the message sequence
The housecat inside the box is still alive!
The large box is empty.
seemed a little strange. This makes it say "is now empty" when a cat has
just been released.

add freehand() check to able_to_loot()

Fix the reported but that prevented stethoscope application to your
steed while engulfed. While the inability to apply your stethoscope
to your steed while engulfed was a code oversight, I think it's a
feature that your ability to use the stethoscope is impacted in the
midst of a swirling, noisy vortex. Make it deliberate with a
two-in-3 chance of avoiding the interference (nine-in-10 chance if
you're a healer who is much more skilled at using a stethoscope).
Previously, if mksobj() was called with the 1st argument
having a value of CORPSE, and a second argument (init)
set to FALSE, the corpse would never get a timer attached.
<Someone> wishes to add a couple of new options to the wince port ("run fullscreen" and "do not use CE software keyboard").
The wincap field was full, so this adds a second field for
additional options.
Since the crysknife is the only MINERAL object in the
game that isn't affected by the "stone to flesh" spell,
and the only thing that makes it to the default
case on the switch statement in zap.c, make it
obvious that it isn't an oversight that nothing happens.
(it wasn't an oversight, right?)
If you dug in a pit next to a sleeping, angry monster, you'd stop every
turn due to a complex check at the end of dochugw. It turned out this
was due to a long-standing bug in the special case vision code that failed
to set the COULD_SEE bit for the locations where it set the IN_SIGHT bit.
It looks like the underwater code had the same problem (it didn't set the
bit, obviously there are no pits underwater). However, the same could
occur if you see the angry, sleeping monster with Xray vision. In this
case, setting COULD_SEE is not appropriate, so added a mcanmove check to
the complex check in dochugw.
Avoid ever putting an "I" on the hero's location by checking it in
map_invisible(). It appeared there were a few other special cases that
could call map_invisible() for actions involving the steed, so checking there
catches them all.

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.

Clear the appropriate fields from the attached monst structure
when loading bones.
Since cansee() is false for all locations while swallowed, need to test if
the monster being hit is the one that swallowed you to ensure that various
artifact hit messages, including the DRLI message, are printed.
Digging a pit while a xorn set the trap time, but falling into a pit did
not. While lookin at this, it occurred to me that the same inconsistency
might occur while polymorhing from/to a xorn, and there was.
Switch the default Linux build behavior to use random instead of lrand48,
since lrand48 exhibits some obviously non-random behavior. random() has
been in glibc for a long time. Even if no other changes are made to
nethack's random number generator, this will improve the Linux behavior.
This is derived from the proposed patch and feedback to it. This applies
the last-position cache behavior without an option, making the behavior
more like it is for interfaces with a mouse, where holding the mouse still
acts the same way as the travel cache. The code is not #ifdef'd either.
This allows the use of the right mouse button to
look at things on the screen when the
'clicklook' option is set.
Concept came from a patch for 3.4.0
that I saw referenced on r.g.r.n
[see http://www.steelskies.com/nethack.php]
but the implementation is different.
