[DGD] Minor issue

[Blain]

Then maybe DGD could be made to accept additional args to clone_object()
and new_object()?  I've solved it for now by changing TLSVAR(0)
[effectively -1] to be an array of arrays, pushing and popping in
clone_object/new_object and _F_create, respectively.  But, like I said, I
hate modifying the kernel.  It's one of my goals to create a mudlib which
doesn't require kernel modification.  So far I've had to make a number of
minor changes, but I think this is one of the larger ones to date.

I had to modify the TLSVAR(0) read/write calls in auto.c in clone_object,
new_object, destruct_object, _F_create (I added code to read the array and
push it to the constructor.  I'm having to take a leap of faith that var 0
isn't modified between clone_object/new_object and _F_create.  For
destruct_object I don't have to worry as I'm using it within the same
function.
