Angels used the epri extension even though they're never priests,
presumeably because they're sometimes flagged as "renegade". Since the
only priests ever flagged as renegade are roaming minions rather than
temple priests, move the renegade flag to the emin extension and switch
Angels over to that. Summoned Angels will now always have the isminion
flag set.
Makefiles need updating: monst.{c,o} now depends upon emin.h.
From a bug report, the probing/stethoscope code assumed that all Angels
(the specific monster type, not the whole 'A' class) used the epri extension
to hold alignment, but that's not true for randomly generated ones. So
monster status feedback gave erroneous results, and it would vary based on
pet behavior if the random Angel had been tamed. Also, touch_artifact()
didn't know about special alignment handling for Angels and aligned priests
so always used their default alignment.
There are other problems with Angels--such as whether they should even
be allowed to be generated randomly in the first place--that this doesn't
attempt to address. The patch for that was starting to sprawl all over the
place so I pulled this simpler bit out for a first cut. Probing now shows
the Wizard of Yendor as unaligned instead of lumping him in with chaotics.
Another Makefile update needed: pline.[c,o] no longer needs epri.h.
+ Separate the two uses of flags.soundok.
+ Player-settable option is now called "acoustics".
+ Deafness is now handled as a full-fledged attribute.
+ Check for deafness in You_hear(), rather than caller.
+ Check for deafness in caller, rather than verbalize(),
because gods can speak to characters in spite of deafness.
+ Since changes are being made to prop.h, reorder it to the
same order as youprop.h and enlightenment.
There are still some extraneous checks and missing checks
for deafness, which will be followed up in a future patch.
Because of the size of this patch and its savefile incompatibilities,
it is only being applied to the trunk code. Portions of this patch
were written by Michael Allison.

This patch:
- collects all context/tracking related fields from flags
into a new structure called "context."
It also adds the following to the new structure:
- stethoscope turn support
- victual support
- tin support

[confirmed: moveloop -> deferred_goto -> goto_level ->
losedogs -> mon_arrive -> rloc -> impossible]
This patch:
- causes rloc() to return TRUE if successful,
or FALSE if it wasn't.
- adds code to mon_arrive() in dog.c to deal with
the failed rloc()
- allows the x,y parameters to mkcorpstat() to
be 0,0 in order to trigger random placement of the
corpse on the level
- if you define DEBUG_MIGRATING_MONS when you build cmd.c
then you'll have a debug-mode command #migratemons to
store the number of random monsters that you specify
on the migrating monsters chain.
From the newsgroup: temples attended by high priests on the Astral
Plane (also in Moloch's Sanctum, although that one doesn't really matter)
give a different entry greeting than usual in order to conceal the altar's
alignment, but they were including the patron deity in the priest name
given as presenter of the message ("The high priest of Offler intones:").
E-mail report from <Someone>. Don't display the "intones:" prefix when
!soundok since the message suffix won't be displayed in this case due to
a check within verbalize().
<Someone> noticed that the change to require axes for trees (and allow them for
doors) did not extend to monsters. Now it does.
- added 2 new weapon check flags to handle the new cases
- added some detailed digging flags to mfndpos, based on ALLOW_DIG, and
moved some common logic regarding that flag into mfndpos
- made the ARMS check consistent for 2-handed weapons
I also noticed that simply carrying a pick was enough to allow a monster to
dig a door; wielding wasn't required. This is fixed as well.
