* Substantial re-work of object model. Moved many attributes out
of BaseEntity class. Changed WoldRouter so it now handles
objects in terms of Entity, rather than BaseEntity.
* Code cleanups, including removing reduntant includes, and
getting rid of C style comments.
* Fixed the way attributes are handled in Set operations and
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.
* rulesets/Thing.cpp, rulesets/Character.cpp: Cleaned up and
rationalised movement code. Much shorter, faster and
more compact than before.
* Made better use of iterators throughout, eliminating unnecessary
lookups, and copying of data.
* Moved all virtual functions out of header files, making
less work for the linker.
* Made more use of const references to avoid the need to copy
data before being able to inspect it.

* */*: Fixed mistake in copyright statement.
* tools/cypasswd.cpp: Fixed usage message.
* tools/cycmd.cpp: Added tools for sending administrative commands
to server.
* server/server.cpp: Send terminate instruction to metaserver on
server shutdown.

location object to python wrappers.
* rulesets/Character.cpp: Added initialisation of bounding box
median for characters.
* modules/DateTime.*: Added configurability to date so that
each period of time has definable number of divisions. Default
is as per real world calendar restricted to 30 day months.
* Added Fire operation handling to Thing class, so that any entity
with a burn_speed attribute will burn.
* Added Food C++ base class, which implements cooking.
* Altered the semantics of the Eat/Fire/Nourish operations so
multiple arguments are no longer required. from is used to
determine the other entity involved.
* Added the beginnings of an astronomy system, but not yet used
anywhere.
* Added appearance handling to BaseMind and Memory.
* Added sequence no to all entities, which is incremented each time
a move or set operation is received. sequence no "seq" is included
in args of Appearance operations.
* Moved functionality from Animal python base class into Character
C++ base class. This much improves the performance of modelling
animals, and means that player characters, and NPCs get hungry and
need to eat. Reduced the speed at which animals consume energy
so they don't starve quite as quickly.
* Added collision prediction functions that handle both entities
having velocity.
* Added combine functionality to Stackable. Divide comes next.
Once functional, this will become the base class for any items
which will commonly be used as stacks.
