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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.)

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.
