Simon Tatham a7431c0b7c New infrastructure feature. Games are now permitted to be
_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.

This subdirectory contains puzzle implementations which are
half-written, fundamentally flawed, or in other ways unready to be
shipped as part of the polished Puzzles collection.

Those puzzles which have .R files can be built as part of the
Puzzles collection by symlinking their source files into the parent
directory and re-running mkfiles.pl. Anything without a .R file
isn't even finished enough to do that, and you should read the
source file itself to find out the status.
