[DGD]Tracking auto_object usage

[Kevin N. Carpenter]

Since the driver function inherit_program() isn't called for the inheritance
of the auto object, is there an alternative to having the object manager
simply keep track of all compiled programs?  Obviously it could be made
smart enough to not track other inheritable, since they would only get the
auto object as part of the program that was inheriting them.

Any opinions on the risk associated with keeping tabs on this via a mapping
instead of a linked list?  The number of objects created via compiling
rather than cloning is hopefully a small subset of the objects in the mud.
Then again, I suppose its unwise to code in any limits around the config
file parameter array_size if it can be avoided.

Comments?
