I finally fixed some of the plugins for BatClient, so I take this opportunity
to advertise them. The magical resource locator in question is

http://www.helsinki.fi/~tvkankaa/bat-plugins.html

and it links to 3 plugins for your adventuring convenience.

* BatPathFinder is the flagship product, a semi-automatic and pretty fast
route finding and walking utility for both pedal and naval transportation
needs. Features include: Simple command-line interface and a windowed
interface. Customizable aliases for your favourite grinding spots. Automatic
place determination based on 'map' output. And much much more.

* BatSound is a simple utility which can be used to play arbitrary sound files
(that are compatible with Java api) with a simple command line interface.
You can call the library from triggers and even your own plugins, to create
a truly multi-mediatic mudding experience.

* BatCombat is a nifty utility that makes your combat output look nicer.
It's hard to explain, so better show what it does:
