nhmall ce31feb231 add some foundational work for uplifts
Be able to carry out uplifts during minor release
lifetimes.

Document a way to be able to uplift struct content
without incrementing EDITLEVEL and breaking existing savefiles.
Use the mechanics outlined to uplift the contents instead, where
it is feasible to do so. The uplift is currently one-way only. An
uplifted savefile cannot be used with an earlier build of NetHack
, one built with a lower SAVEFILE_REVISION_LEVEL, than the one which
wrote the savefile.

The final byte (byte 79) of the 80 critical bytes in the savefile,
of which 10 are reserved for future expansion and not currently
used, will now be used for holding the savefile revision level
(SAVEFILE_REVISION_LEVEL in include/patchlevel.h) at the time
the savefile was written.

That leaves 9 of the bytes available for future use.

This README provides the instructions for building the unofficial Mac
binaries using the Apple provided developer IDE named XCode.

Establish a developer team in XCode
===================================

Your first step should be to establish a developer team within XCode.
Launch XCode and open the preferences dialog (XCode Menu->Preferences).
Select the "Accounts" tab.  Add an account (usually this should just be
your apple ID account you used to setup the Mac).  After adding the account,
select the account and then add a team (usually this will be just a
personal team for Mac Development).

Obtain your developer team identifier
=====================================

Your DEVELOPMENT_TEAM can be found by opening Keychain Access
(found by Finder->Applications->Utilities).  Click on "My Certificates".
Look for your "Mac Developer" certificate.  Right click on
the certificate to open a dialog that shows certificate details.
Look for "Organizational Unit" among the details.  This ten digit value
is your development team identifier.

Create XCodeLocal.xcconfig file
===============================

Now you need to create the XCodeLocal.xcconfig file that will be used by
XCode to get your development team identifier.  Create the file in
sys/unix and add a single line such as:
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = XXXXXXXXXX

Where XXXXXXXXXX is replaced with your development team identifier.

Open the project and build
==========================

In XCode open the project file sys/unix/NetHack.xcodeproj, select
the product NetHack and build.  The build results are placed in
~/nethackdir.
