* server/WorldRouter.h, server/WorldRouter.cpp, common/BaseWorld.h,
	  rulesets/Creator.cpp, rulesets/World.cpp: Removed unused and
	  unnecessary code from BaseWorld class, and move some stuff into
	  the WorldRouter where it belongs.

	* rulesets/Character.cpp: Fixed a bug in the way ops from the
	  mind are handled which caused a segfault.

	* rulesets/Character.h, rulesets/Creator.h: Made some functions
	  which are never overridden non-virtual for speed.

* server/server.cpp, rulesets/Python_API.cpp, rulesets/Line.cpp,
	  modules/Location.cpp, client/CreatorClient.cpp:
	  Removed some obsolete comments.

	* server/WorldRouter.h, server/WorldRouter.cpp: Add member to
	  deliver operation to known entity. Make use if it to avoid
	  having to recurse in operation() when broadcasting. Ensure
	  that the container of new entities is managed from here.

	* rulesets/Thing.cpp: Tell world to create new entities at the
	  same position as the creator if no other info is provided.
	  Do not attempt to handle setting up the default containership
	  of entity once created, as this is always handled by the
	  WorldRouter from now on.

	* rulesets/Py_World.cpp: Implement getting time info from world.

	* rulesets/Py_Location.cpp: Implement handling of the orientation
	  attribute from python.

	* rulesets/MemMap.cpp: Update comments about unimplemented code.

	* rulesets/Creator.cpp: Check for string.empty() instead of "".

	* rulesets/BaseMind.cpp: Remove reference python code.
	  Cleanly handle and delete operations returned when savinf mind state.

	* client/CharacterClient.cpp: Move delete to the right place.

* server/WorldRouter.cpp: Eliminate unnecessary call to opEnumerate()
	  and enhance debugging output.

	* server/Player.cpp: Correct the use of string.compare() in older
	  versions of libstdc++.

	* common/types.h: Added enumeration for other operations, not
	  handled by the core, but considered valid. Added new type
	  for storing mapping between operation parents and their
	  enumerated type.

	* common/op_switch.h: Separate handling of operations known to
	  be invalid from operations which are valid, but not explicitly
	  added to the core.

	* common/inheritance.h, common/inheritance.cpp, common/custom.cpp:
	  Provide global operation mapping where enumeration of operations
	  can be looked up. Install all types handled by the core, and
	  types known to be used in scripts.

	* common/BaseEntity.h, common/BaseEntity.cpp: Add object specific
	  operation mapping where operation types each object is subscribed
	  to can be enumerated, and others are rejected. Add mechanism
	  so that objects can add to the mapping, this subscribing to
	  operations. This makes enumerating operations much cheaper, and
	  eliminates the overhead of handling ops an object has no interest
	  in.

	* rulesets/Thing.h, rulesets/Thing.cpp: Add mechanism so scripts
	  can subscribe to operations.

	* rulesets/Character.h, rulesets/Character.cpp:
	  Add subscription mechanism for ops going to and from
	  the mind.

	* rulesets/BaseMind.h, rulesets/BaseMind.cpp:
	  Add subscription mechanism for sight and sound perception
	  operations sub operations, and provide an interface to it
	  for scripts.

	* server/Connection.cpp, server/Admin.cpp, server/Account.cpp,
	  rulesets/World.cpp, rulesets/World.h, rulesets/Thing.cpp,
	  rulesets/Stackable.cpp, rulesets/Plant.cpp, rulesets/Food.cpp,
	  rulesets/Character.cpp, rulesets/BaseMind.cpp:
	  Add subscriptions to operations for all core base classes.

	* rulesets/Python_API.cpp: When script is created, go through
	  methods, and subscribe to the operations which are handled by
	  them.

	* rulesets/Character.cpp: When calculating orientation of a walking
	  character, assume it is standing upright.

	* physics/Vector3D.h: Add versions of mag() and distance() which
	  omit the square root calculations, so that when their values
	  are only used for comparison, the expensive square root
	  calculations can be ommited. Add new version of collision
	  and range checking functions which provide the optimal
	  interface to the application. Add versions of methods which
	  modify this rather than creating a new operation to eliminate
	  wasted copies.

	* physics/Quaternion.cpp: Make use of faster interface provided
	  by Vector3D.

	* physics/BBox.h: Add new version of collision checking function
	  which provides optimal interface to the application.

	* modules/Location.h, modules/Location.cpp: Add new functions
	  to optimally calculate the distance between any two entities.

	* modules/Location.h: Re-write collision and range functions to
	  make much more optimal use of Vector3D, BBox and distance
	  functionality.

	* rulesets/Py_Vector3D.cpp, rulesets/Pedestrian.cpp,
	  rulesets/Movement.cpp, rulesets/Entity.cpp, rulesets/Character.cpp:
	  Eliminate implicit copies from vector arithmetic.

	* rulesets/Pedestrian.cpp, rulesets/MemMap.cpp, common/const.h:
	  Re-write code which uses magnitude of vectors to use the square
	  of the magnitude instead, as it is much cheaper to calculate.

	  objects in terms of Entity, rather than BaseEntity.

	* Code cleanups, including removing reduntant includes, and
	  getting rid of C style comments.

	  when merging from an Atlas::Message::Object. This fixed
	  problem with setting gender of characters.

	* rulesets/Pedestrian.*, rulesets/Movement.*: Re-named
	  Movement variables to make them clearer. Added in
	  separate handling for collisions from moving to
	  target position. Modified collision handling so
	  objects can slide next to each other.

	  rationalised movement code. Much shorter, faster and
	  more compact than before.

	* Made better use of iterators throughout, eliminating unnecessary
	  lookups, and copying of data.

	* Fixed retrieval of Account from database so that the Account
	  is now correctly referenced in the server object.

	* common/types.h: Changed type name to make them clearer.

	* rulesets/Character.h: Moved MovementInfo into its own class
	  file, and made it a base class, with a Pedestrian super class.

488f35b52f * Complete re-write of python script interface to allow other
script types to be cleanly dropped in.

	* Re-work on server and communication related classes to use
	  references where they are apropriate. Code is now much more
	  robust.

	* Huge cleanup of header files removing redundant includes.

	* server/WorldRouter.h: Removed is_object_deleted because it
	  is broken and not used.

	* server/Connection.h: Removed unused disconnect() methods.

	* rulesets/Entity.*: Added new in game base class from which
	  all mind and object classes are derived. This removes
	  clutter of Thing class from mind classes.

	* aiclient/*: Progress with creating AI client for mind handling.

	* common/globals.*: Moved some globals out of server specific files.

	* rulesets/Makefile.am: Separated rulesets code into 3 almost stand
	  alone packages; entities, mind and python interface code.


Acorn may well not work now, but I would apreciate it if people could
test the code on their setups. Lots of code has changed, and almost
everything is now cleaner.

35d78b27a2 * Implemented beginnings of ranges code:
* modules/Location.h: Added inRange() method which can be used
	  to check whether location, including bounding box, is within
	  given range of a given location. Changed parent member
	  variable to ref to fit with Atlas spec. Changed all code
	  related to using the term ref instead of parent so
	  that there is no confusion between ref for coordinates
          and parent in the Atlas hierarchy.

        * rulesets/Thing.cpp: Added code to move operation to check
          what entities come into and out of range when entity moves.
          Appearance and Disappearance operations are sent to the
          moving entity with a list of the relevant entities as their
          argument.

        * server/WorldRouter.h/cpp: Added overloaded Look operation
          handler which applies range constraints to the contains
          attribute before returning.

        * common/BaseEntity.h, rulesets/Thing.h, rulesets/Character.h:
          Added handling of Appearance and Disappearance operations.

        * server/WorldRouter.cpp: Added primitive check to broadcast
          operations to avoid delivering broadcast operation to
          entities out of range.

        * Removed world.get_object() use from server python code, as
          its use is not required.

        * server/WorldRouter.h: Implemented fetching of floating point time
          from the OS so movement is much smoother.

f9e8d1c832 * Fixed inheritance bug in BaseMind::operation()
* Tweaked the way Look operations are handled when sent from mind, so
	  an argument is not required if to is set.

	* Made some performance enhancements.

	* Implemented nourish operation.

	* Modifed move_me() goal so it sets face direction.

	* Fixed memory leak in MemMap.

	* Implemented fully deleting of entities.

	* Cleaned up and tweaked python scripts so eating acorns now works.

	* Implemented hooks in MemMap for python scripts.


This is the work I got done over the Christmas break. Acorn now works
with a couple of minor glitches.

f92ff1cb46 * Massive code cleaning efforts, removing dead code, trimming reviewing
and shifting code around to optimise it.

	* Heavy use of inlining to improve code performance.

	* Added global exception handler to catch exceptions while processing
	  operations.

4343c8d383 * Removed lots of extraneous debugging output, and turned the rest
off using debug flags.

	* Added halt_time, which is number of seconds server should run before
	  it exits.

	* Cleaned a bunch if the remaining memory leaks.

	* Cleaned up the way time is handled.

	* More tweaks to Python code and API to get Acorn working.

	* Inlined some methods into the class definitions, for performance.

	* Updated movement code to sort out setting mode properlly, and
	  deal with stuttering NPC movement.

This is quite a big commit, and most of Acorn now works. Performance seems
to be good too.

1826587f9d * Fixes to worlds object list so it now contains world.
* More python code tweaks to work with modifications to interface.

	* Modified code which gets Thing attributes from Message::Object
	  so it can use any object dictionary to look up parent object.

	* Fixed handling of Thing's static type attribute.

	* Modified creation of operations from python to eliminate
	  some strange segfaults.

	* Re-wrote and fixed Entity creation from python.

	* Implemented dictlist.remove_value for removing things from inventory.

	* Implemented Vector3D arithmetic and methods from python.

	* Implemented as_entity() and get_xyz() methods for Thing from
	  python.

	* Commented out deletion of operations from python OperationObject
	  dealloc() function as it was causing segfaults. There is a problem
	  somewhere with ownership not being cleared, but I can't find it.

	* Implemented conversion of Python Operation and Oplist objects
	  to Message::Object.

	* Fixed MemMap so that attributes of Things are accuratly updated.

	* Fixed it so that look ops from mind are broadcast rather than sent
	  to world. This may have to be reverted.

	* Tweaked autoconf to make it cleaner and work better. Still needs
	  alot of work.

A simple test of some goals now works! The lych goals worked to some
extent and no-longer gives python errors. Only a few more things are
required before Acorn can run, at which point I will release 0.1
for testing.

21b18875f6 * Started working on sorting out memory leaks.
* Implemented python function to deal with not being able to check
	  type of python objects implemented in C.

	* Added method to thing for extracting location data from a
	  Message::Object

	* More work on python references to improve leakage.

	* Added flag so that python Operation object can own
	  the operation they point to, and thus delete it in dealloc().

	* Implemented find_by_location() and find_by_type() as required in
	  MemMap, and corresponding python interface.

	* Put in temporary work around to deal with the fact that a mind
	  does not know its name. Currently the mind is not able to
	  discover any of its bodies attributes, and I am not sure how
	  to solve this.

	* Fixed Location and Vector3D so they use operator bool() to detect
	  whether they are set.

	* Fixed bugs in getting parent from Location in python which caused
	  segfaults.

	* Imported all the basic ruleset entity python scripts.


Goals now work to some extent, though nothing moves around still. The main
priority is to work out how minds inherit the attributes of their
bodies, and keep them up to date. aloril?

c72c97b351 * Filled in BaseMind functionality so it now keeps memory map up to date. Added necessary features to Python/C++ interface
for sight operations to be passed onto python code after processing
	  in C++. Added new type of op switch to deal with operations
	  in the argument of a sight/sound operation.

	* Added features to Opeation python interface for args to be
	  accessed as if operation is a sequence object.

	* Implemented python API for C++ memory map class.

	* Added utility function which uses code borrowed from Atlas-C++
	  to convert a Message::Object into something from the Objects
	  code.

f2928e6310 * Moved some of BaseMind functionality in a python class and
added the necessary interface code.

	* Initial port of MemMap class from python to C++, together with
	  python interface. Hopefully maintenance of MemMap can be kept
	  in C++ for speed if possible.
