b32b4f8763 I've changed my mind. For the benefit of users with slower
computers, let's save the Solo and Pattern grids at generation time
and regurgitate them when asked to solve, rather than doing all the
work over again.

4f7b65de2e Added an automatic `Solve' feature to most games. This is useful for
various things:
 - if you haven't fully understood what a game is about, it gives
   you an immediate example of a puzzle plus its solution so you can
   understand it
 - in some games it's useful to compare your solution with the real
   one and see where you made a mistake
 - in the rearrangement games (Fifteen, Sixteen, Twiddle) it's handy
   to be able to get your hands on a pristine grid quickly so you
   can practise or experiment with manoeuvres on it
 - it provides a good way of debugging the games if you think you've
   encountered an unsolvable grid!

9e240e45df Introduce the concept of a `game_aux_info' structure. This is
constructed at the same time as an internally generated game seed,
so that it can preserve any interesting information known by the
program at generation time but not physically contained within the
text of the game seed itself. (Such as, for example, the solution.)
Currently not used for anything yet, but it will be.

791940b043 Introduced a new function in every game which formats a game_state
as text. This is used by front ends to implement copy-to-clipboard.
Currently the function does nothing (and is disabled) in every game
except Solo, but it's a start.

e72931bfe2 I can never remember what that `TRUE' means in the game structure
definitions, so let's move it so that it's just next to the
functions it relates to. This also opens the way for me to add more
booleans next to other functions without getting confused as to
which is which.

4ba97c64fe Pattern also contains an internal solver, so here's a command-line
interface to it just in case it comes in handy.

f64dcb909d Stop the Pattern grid generation from generating an entire row or
column of the same colour (at least when the dimensions are big
enough to make this feasible). It's a little bit too easy otherwise!

e500ef9637 Fixes in grid generation for pedantic special cases when one or both
grid dimensions are very small.

d8eb0de7c2 The main grid outline in Pattern was asymmetric between the top/left
edges and the bottom/right ones. Fix it. (Also remove it from the
todo list in osx.m, where I had entered it in the assumption that it
was a bug in my new OS X port! Turns out it's an entirely platform-
independent bug.)

cc54553226 Rather than each game backend file exporting a whole load of
functions and a couple of variables, now each one exports a single
structure containing a load of function pointers and said variables.
This should make it easy to support platforms on which it's sensible
to compile all the puzzles into a single monolithic application. The
two existing platforms are still one-binary-per-game.

b18c86241d Bah; r4954 introduced an array overrun.

47e9419452 Game completion detection was occasionally failing to spot a
lingering GRID_UNKNOWN, causing it to declare victory too soon.
