[DGD] support dgd 1.2.130 mudlib ?

[Nick Horner]

>From the banging around I did, I believe there is a problem with
running the newest version of Phantasmal, the 0.018 version, on DGD
1.2.130.  From the cursory investigating I've done, it seems to stem
from the kernel lib renaming the objectd call to include, to
include_file.  I think there's also a few other problems.  But, like
Noah said, I suggest you go with the package offered by Phantasmal,
it's much easier for a beginner to DGD to digest that, and you can
always go and compile the new driver.

I'd like to suggest something to Dworkin for consideration.  Seeing as
how we have some dormant dgd libs out there that are rightly built
over the top and dependant on the kernel lib, perhaps Dworkin could
start a seperate Changelog that would reside in the kernel lib
specifically, and highlight any compatibility problems that a new dgd
release would entail.  I know someone could probably go through the
src Changelog a find these changes, but that's a lot of startup cost
for someone dusting off an old lib.  Or perhaps you could preface each
kernel change in the changelog with an easily greppable prefix, like
<kernel>, then when someone dusted off an old lib, they'd simply have
to grep for these lines and determine if there's any fixes required.

Thanks for the wonderful driver, I hope it continues to improve.
