A) From: "Brian Thomas" <thomas@astro.psu.edu>

Ok, I found the problem.. the artifact code assigns a level value
to artifacts with kind "Berserkergang". The specialweapon/apply
code, when it finds a weapon with a "level" immediately compares
the title field to the weilder's name. If they dont match, it can't
be used.

I created a patch to remove the level designation from the artifact
code since other named weaopns (cf "glamdri") dont have a level
assigned.

B) From: Klaus Elsbernd <elsbernd@dfki.uni-kl.de>

In version 0.92.8 is a bug in the inventory-unlock-code, which
prevents unlocking.

C) From: myself

make post-install target modified in Makefile, *$*HOME was eaten
up by 'make' and displayed nonsense. Tell player to create the players
dir in his login directory.
