The recent change to include increased damage and increased
chance to hit in all enlightenment feedback instead of just at end
of game feels too specific compared to most of the other feedback.
Instead of giving exact plus/minus values, give a generalized
categorization of the amount. The exact value is given at game end
as in existing 3.4.0 behavior, and also given when in wizard mode.

Also moves the hit and damage bonus feedback from the "troubles"
section to the "physical attributes" section and delivers it for
every enlightenment rather than just after the game is over.

to work with any call to getdir().
When cmdassist is set, instead of the
message:
"What a strange direction!"
you get a screen of help showing the valid direction keys.
!cmdassist will suppress the extra help information.
Provide some command assistance for newbies, but
suppress it with !cmdassist in the config file.
If someone misinterprets the Guidebook ^D, ^T
type command notation, this will pop up some
further information to possibly assist them and
explain the notation.
Several flags added since 3.4.0 were destined for flags
(to be saved with the game) but were placed in iflags for
savefile compatibility. These include:
boolean lootabc; /* use "a/b/c" rather than "o/i/b" when looting */
boolean showrace; /* show hero glyph by race rather than by role */
boolean travelcmd; /* allow travel command */
int runmode; /* update screen display during run moves */
This patch has no effect unless you define this in your port's
XXconf.h file.
#define SAVEFILE_340_CONVERT /* allow moving of some iflags fields to flags
without destroying savefile compatibility */
Without it, the new flags remain in "iflags." With it, the flags are moved to
"flags" and the structures are converted when the save file is read. There
is no reverse compatibility. If you save the game after conversion, you
can't load the savefile on 3.4.0, only 3.4.1.
Reported to the mailing list on 5/23. To fix this, u.usteed cannot simply
be unset earlier, so I put a check for this special case into enlightenment().
Addresses reports R718, R772.1, <Someone> P's extra move bug
- when there is a previously seen path or a straight path, always take it
- incorporate fix to ensure no extra "." turn at the end of traveling, but
still avoid stepping into traps/pools, et al
- include a general "G"-command (and travel) fix to avoid stepping in
known pools/lava while blind
- when there is no such path, "guess" at a path by finding an intermediate
location that the hero couldsee that is closest to the actual goal, the
intermediate goal is re-determined at each step
- when Blind, don't use couldsee for determining straight paths, just direction
- do not consider doors or most boulders obstacles for picking travel
paths, test_move has a new mode to differentiate this case from the regular
test case
- don't include known trap locations in the travel path, avoids unnecessary
stops along the way, and usually doesn't affect the path length
- reformatted the code a bit so I could follow it
Add "travel" boolean option to enable/disable travel command.
Add "mouse_support" wincap option to enable/disable mouse.
- When running the win32 tty version full-screen, some people
complained about the square mouse cursor.

The new routine needed to do something with u.ulevelmax
(which controls whether lost levels can be regained via magic).
This sets it to the new level rather than having it go up or
down the same amount as the user specified in the level change,
which yields a plausible reason for using this command to set
experience level explicitly to its current value.
The new code was using a mixture of spaces and tabs for
indentation; I've totally reformatted it.
