This is the plan, broadly speaking.  There's also AIHelper and the map
work.  We could do with a decent AI, so it's worth us waiting for that.
The argument about pointers and indices in maps is important in the
longer term, but if it becomes the thing that's holding up the next
release, I think we should just revert to the old version for now.

We're nowhere near that stage yet.  To get a bit philosophical about it,
0.8.17 will be the first step in optimising the codebase for bazaar mode
rather cathedral mode development.  Hopefully, it will lay the
groundwork for the future (doxygen documentation, unit testing, etc.)
but there'll be an awful lot to do after that.
