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.

puzzle, to make it construcct puzzle IDs and output them on stdout.
Also checked in print.py, a script which reads puzzle IDs on stdin
and produces PostScript output. With these, you can generate pages
of Pattern, Rectangles and Solo puzzles to take on trains with you.

builds better:
- the GTK makefile now defines $(GTK_CONFIG) which you can
override, so you can build for GTK 2 with no makefile-editing
simply by running `make GTK_CONFIG="pkg_config gtk+-2.0"'
- we use Pango to find appropriate fonts, which means the text in
the puzzles actually (gasp!) adapts its size to the
circumstances. Unfortunately, I've been unable to do this
portably without depending on _either_ a Pango function that
isn't present in older versions _or_ the underlying window system
being X11; I'd appreciate someone doing better.

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.

tiles randomly. (Rachel asked for this; it's been being tested for a good few
months now, and Simon didn't care either way, so in it goes :)
As part of this, the front end can now be asked to provide a random random
seed (IYSWIM).

might run again in mid-shutdown and cause chaos, if you hit `q' in
the middle of an animated sequence such as the Net finishing flash.

gtk_main_quit not to get called, with the result that the whole game
ended up running one gtk_main level lower down. This meant that
final dialog box processing was not performed, so that (for example)
selecting 1x1 in Net, hitting OK and getting an error box, then
selecting a different size and hitting OK again failed to change to
the new size.

addition to the `game_state'. The new structure is intended to
contain ephemeral data pertaining to the game's user interface
rather than the actual game: things stored in the UI structure are
not restored in an Undo, for example.
make_move() is passed the UI to modify as it wishes; it is now
allowed to return the _same_ game_state it was passed, to indicate
that although no move has been made there has been a UI operation
requiring a redraw.

specifically, the elapsed time between calls varies much more with
GTK than it does under Windows. Therefore, I now take my own time
readings on every timer call, and this appears to have made the
animations run at closer to the same speed between platforms. Having
done that, I decided some of them were at the _wrong_ speed, and
fiddled with each game's timings as well.

is (a) pretty feeble, and (b) means that although Net seeds transfer
between platforms and still generate the same game, there's a
suspicious discrepancy in the typical seed _generated_ by each
platform.
I have a better RNG kicking around in this code base already, so
I'll just use it. Each midend has its own random_state, which it
passes to new_game_seed() as required. A handy consequence of this
is that initial seed data is now passed to midend_new(), which means
that new platform implementors are unlikely to forget to seed the
RNG because failure to do so causes a compile error!

mechanism I've just invented (the midend handles the standard game
selection configuration). Each game is now required to validate its
own seed data before attempting to base a game on it and potentially
confusing itself.

right from scratch without the slightest reference to any dialog
templates (meaning that we get to figure out the layout and _then_
choose the window size). I'm rather pleased with that. Also
introduced free_cfg(), which is why this checkin touched gtk.c as
well.

doesn't fit in it. This not only looked ugly, but caused unnecessary
calls to configure_area() and kept destroying the pixmap.

in the Windows front end; I also introduced a debugging framework
and made TranslateMessage conditional.)

are now expected to provide a list of `presets' (game_params plus a
name) which are selectable from the menu. This means I can play
both Octahedron and Cube without recompiling in between :-)
While I'm here, also enabled a Cygwin makefile, which Just Worked.
