[DGD]DGD and Melville

[Chris Kaczor]

I'm not all that familiar with Melville anymore (having gone and restarted
off the kernel lib) but in general you would have functions in living.c that
you could call like set_hit_points, set_spell_points, etc. and you would
clone a player.c and call these functions on it to setup the player.
