_conditionally_ able to format the current puzzle as text to be sent
to the clipboard. For instance, if a game were to support playing on
a square grid and on other kinds of grid such as hexagonal, then it
might reasonably feel that only the former could be sensibly
rendered in ASCII art; so it can now arrange for the "Copy" menu
item to be greyed out depending on the game_params.
To do this I've introduced a new backend function
(can_format_as_text_now()), and renamed the existing static backend
field "can_format_as_text" to "can_format_as_text_ever". The latter
will cause compile errors for anyone maintaining a third-party front
end; if any such person is reading this, I apologise to them for the
inconvenience, but I did do it deliberately so that they'd know to
update their front end.
As yet, no checked-in game actually uses this feature; all current
games can still either copy always or copy never.

is mostly done with ifdefs in windows.c; so mkfiles.pl generates a
new makefile (Makefile.wce) and Recipe enables it, but it's hardly
any different from Makefile.vc apart from a few definitions at the
top of the files.
Currently the PocketPC build is not enabled in the build script, but
with any luck I'll be able to do so reasonably soon.

function, since it took no parameters by which to vary its decision,
and in any case it's hard to imagine a game which only
_conditionally_ wants a status bar. Changed it into a boolean data
field in the backend structure.

was actually using it, and also it wasn't being called again for
different game states or different game parameters, so it would have
been a mistake to depend on anything in that game state. Games are
now expected to commit in advance to a single fixed list of all the
colours they will ever need, which was the case in practice already
and simplifies any later port to a colour-poor platform. Also this
change has removed a lot of unnecessary faff from midend_colours().

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.

maxflow.c. Also in this checkin, fixes to the OS X and GTK back ends
to get ALIGN_VNORMAL right. This is the first time I've used it! :-)
