Added an error_check_python_modules function to evennia.py. This basically imports a host of critical modules and quits with tracebacks if there are problems. This catches pure python-syntax errors (i.e. cases where the source-file itself is malformed), something which is hard to properly handle in the running server (where there's also an issue as to how to best report it). Best they fail out already at an early stage.

Changed the way unloggedin commands work. Rather than the cmdhander having a special state for unlogged-in commands, the session itself simply stores the cmdset from settings.CMDSET_UNLOGGEDIN. Clean and efficient and also gives a lot more freedom for creating custom login mechanisms (notably it opens the door to using menu systems).

Added a simple quell command to contrib/ for showing how to use a command to launch other commands (in this case with a lower permission than you normally do (including bypassing superuser status).

Trunk: Merged griatch-branch. This implements a new reload mechanism - splitting Evennia into two processes: Server and Portal with different tasks. Also cleans and fixes several bugs in script systems as well as introduces i18n (courtesy of raydeejay).

Added a new 'contrib' folder for optional code snippets not suitable for the server core. Added contrib/menusystem for implementing a multi-choice menu system. Added contrib/lineeditor - a powerful line editor with commands mimicking VI. Also added an example NPC class using the menu system to allow for a conversation. As part of creating these contributions, lots of bugs were found and fixed. A new and more powerful cmdparser was intruduced as a result - this one is much easier to understand than the old one, while being more efficient and versatile. All testsuites were updated. Also: Resolves issue 165.

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.

Set the default settings file to point to the files in game/gamesrc/commands - these now make for good starts for overriding the default systems. The system now also matches the examples given in the wiki.
