Greetings, fellow BatMUDders!

It is time for the wee.. umm, bi-weekly progress report
from the wizardly Pupunen Laboratories. Much has happened
since my last post, including following things:

- Two outworld mobs were tuned. One slightly (elks now should
not appear that much in the jungles) and one a bit more
(rhinoceros(ri?) may dislike you hanging around them,
just like their RL counterparts).

- An ancient issue with giving money to mounts without saddlebags
was fixed. It is no longer possible to give money to mount when
it has no saddlebags.

- 'score' command was refactored, and order of some items was
changed slightly.

- Item handling was improved, it is no longer possible to unkeep
or drop (etc.) containers with kept items in them - this mainly
means rigs, of course.

- Mount carry capacity was implemented, with two different effects:
The amount of money is now limited by mount's carry capacity AND
saddlebags volume. It is no longer possible to load literally
_infinite_ amounts of money to your mount (I tested with 4 billion
gold to be sure .. "")

Also, the carry capacity now affects weight as well, not just item
volumes. Before this, it was possible to give many "small, but heavy"
items to a mount without the weight affecting things ... that makes
no sense. The carry capacity now depends on your mount. A bigger and
stronger mount can carry more - but I hope I was not too harsh with
the formula.

- 'time all' implemented, for showing current season on all continents.

- New, cleaned up 'mobprot' command, with a colourful and more readable
'mobprot party' functionality.

- Fixed issues in item handling, things like 'get nokeep from frame'
should now work as expected instead of getting all items (also kept).

- 'grep' command got bugfix(es) and a new '-i' option for
case-insensitivity.

- Various bugs were fixed all around.
