assertion failures in portrait-type grids; retire an unused array in
the game generation function (my original generation strategy needed
it, but the final one didn't); correct a typo; further restrict the
generable sizes of game and include a special case for 4x4dt to
prevent a tight loop.

differs between oldstate and state in only the hint bit should not
have a flip animation even if hints_active is TRUE. Flip animations
should only happen for tiles which are changing their primary state.
(Put like that, it seems so obvious.)
Test case which demonstrates this fix to be right and r6384 to be
wrong: 3x3:101000000000000000000,300 . Hit Solve immediately and
then click on the red-highlighted squares.

always got a flip animation even when it wasn't one of the ones
being turned, and a square with no effect at all was still counting
as a move.
Since it's an invariant of Flip's internal generator that every
square includes itself as an effect, this never comes up in auto-
generated games.

in the game description, the solver will fail to notice it and
overrun an array leading to assertion failure, silent wrong answers
or (in extreme cases) segfaults. Hence, validate_desc() now spots
them and kicks them out.

game_print(), wherever feasible. This fixes a specific bug in Loopy
(James H's new field ds->linewidth wasn't being set up, leading to
corrupted print output), but I've made the change in all affected
files because it also seems like a generally good idea to encourage
it for future games, to prevent other problems of this type.
There is one slight snag, which is that Map _can't_ do this because
its game_set_size() also initialises a blitter. I could fix this by
abstracting the common parts of Map's game_set_size() out into a
subfunction called by game_set_size() and also called directly by
game_print(); alternatively, I could introduce a means of
determining whether a `drawing *' was for screen or printing use.
Not sure which yet.

- remove the backtracking `Hard' level, on the grounds that it was
incredibly slow and not really usable.
- introduce an `Easy' difficulty level below the standard one; many
people seem to find this puzzle unusually hard, so an easy level
is particularly helpful.
- highlight unfulfillable clue squares (but not yet any other types
of obvious error).

r6160, I completely failed to ensure that generated grids were _at
most_ the required difficulty. It appears to have been only random
chance that prevented a request for a Trivial puzzle from producing
Extreme. Here's a one-line fix.

though, I've decided the `bug' is better off unfixed, and added a
comment explaining why.

Gareth managed to find an example (10x8#458168771440033 in r6289)

obviously redundant piece of path.

completion, _again_. In r6174 I changed it from dsf to conventional
graph theory so that it could actually highlight loops as opposed to
just discovering that one existed. Unfortunately, yesterday I
discovered a fundamental graph-theoretic error in the latter
algorithm: if you had two entirely separate loops connected by a
single path, the path would be highlighted as well as the loops.
Therefore, I've reverted to the original dsf technique, combined
with a subsequent pass to trace around each loop discovered. This
version seems to do a better job of only highlighting the actual
loops.

borderline case, so that a death incurred _in the act_ of collecting
the final gem also didn't increment the deaths counter. Now it does.

size of the puzzle window. This has involved some _completely
stupid_ window manipulation: in order to figure out in advance how
big I want my main window to be, I first have to _create_ the status
bar so I know how tall it is; but since I can't reparent it into my
main window after I've created it, I then have to throw that status
bar away and create a new one. *sigh*

to call game_set_size() twice on the same drawstate. Finally, a
definite decision: it isn't. Accordingly, midend.c arranges never to
do so, the devel docs state that puzzles may enforce by assertion
that it never happens, and the four puzzles which care (i.e. use
blitters) do so.

cleanliness), plus he's enlarged the pencil-mark circles from
TILESIZE/8 to TILESIZE/7. Makes no difference at all (thanks to
integer division) when TILESIZE is the default of 20, but presumably
helps at some other tile sizes. Fine by me.

a non-recursive level above Easy, which therefore moves the
recursive Hard mode further up still. Play-testing suggests that in
fact Tricky is often _harder_ than the old Hard mode, since the
latter had limited depth of recursion and would therefore spot
complex deductions only if it happened to start a recursion on the
right square; Tricky may be limited in the sophistication of its
complex deductions, but it never misses one, so its puzzles tend to
be hard all over.
Also in this checkin, a new source file `nullfe.c', containing all
the annoying stub functions required to make command-line solvers

I've used it to simplify the other stand-alone solvers.

it had a command-line solver. In order to do this, I've had to
expose the internal region numbering because the solver has to have
some way to state which region it means; and in any case it's also
useful to have human-visible region numbering so that two people can
discuss a puzzle they're solving together. So pressing L during play
now toggles the display of region numbers; and `mapsolver' uses
those same numbers when showing its working and its solutions.
