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.

Windows users who may not have a middle button at all, but I've
replicated it in GTK to maintain cross-platform consistency.

as an alternative control method in Cube. (This was a bit of hassle
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.

to draw a 1x1 rectangle, presumably on the grounds that that's
beneath its dignity and you ought to be using SetPixel() instead. So
now I do, and now Net actually looks exactly the same on Windows and
GTK. Woo!
