ceiling hiders vs '>'
Poly'd hero hiding on the ceiling was told "you can't go down here"
if using '>' at a spot that didn't have down stairs, trap door, hole,
or pit. Let '>' bring a ceiling hider out of hiding; lurker above
resumes flying, piercer falls to floor or whatever is underneath it.

wizard mode wishing for terrain
Fix some issues noticed when experimenting with ceiling hiders.
They're all blind (at least without the monks' Eyes) and some of
the behavior while blind seemed to be incorrect (though some that
I thought was wrong turned out to be ok; feel_newsym() won't update
the map if the hero can't reach the floor). Fixing that made me
notice that some terrain side-effects (being underwater or stuck in
lava) weren't getting disabled when the underlying terrain wasn't
the corresponding type anymore.

allow run-from-removable-device configuration on Windows
Allow a way to configure NetHack to run entirely from a USB stick
or other removable device in a way that allows everything to
reside entirely on the USB stick, and nothing on the computer's
hard drive. That could be done in versions prior to 3.6.3.
Sample:
i: is a USB stick
i:\nhdist contains the NetHack Windows distribution and a sysconf
file dropped into that distribution with the following entry in it:
portable_device_top = nethack
No device is included in the portable_device_top entry, the device
is always the device that the nethack exe resides on. If you try
to specify a device in the portable_device_top path, the device
portion will be ignored.
portable_device_top specifies the folder on the device that is writable
by NetHack and as such it cannot be the same folder that the executable
resides in.
i:\nhdist\nethack --showpaths
Variable playground locations:
[hackdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[leveldir ]="i:\nethack\"
[savedir ]="i:\nethack\"
[bonesdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[datadir ]="i:\nhdist\"
[scoredir ]="i:\nethack\"
[lockdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[sysconfdir]="i:\nhdist\"
[configdir ]="i:\nethack\"
[troubledir]="i:\nethack\"
NetHack's system configuration file (in sysconfdir):
"i:\nhdist\sysconf"
The loadable symbols file (in sysconfdir):
"i:\nhdist\symbols"
Basic data files (in datadir) are collected inside:
"i:\nhdist\nhdat363"
No end-of-game disclosure file (disabled).
Writable folder for portable device config (sysconf portable_device_top):
"i:\nethack\"
Your personal configuration file (in configdir):
"i:\nethack\.nethackrc"
Without that sysconf file in the NetHack distribution folder on the
USB stick with the 'portable_device_top = ' entry, the paths
return to the default locations for 3.6.3 on Windows:
i:\nhdist\nethack --showpaths
Variable playground locations:
[hackdir ]="C:\Users\JaneDoe\NetHack\3.6\"

Fix compilation on platforms that split the ncurses and tinfo libraries
Some platforms compile ncurses in such a way that the tinfo library needs to
be separately linked in (e.g. Gentoo).
The tinfo library is a low-level library being used by and bundled with
ncurses.
Adding '-ltinfo' to WINTTYLIB in the hint files was considered the most robust
solution to this problem. This still works on systems with ncurses 5.9.
Using pkg-config was ruled out as the default build of ncurses doesn't install
the necessary files.
When picking up from floor or removing from container fails because
there aren't any inventory slots available, pickup/take-out stops.
But the message
|Your knapsack can't accomodate any more items.
is inaccurate if there is gold beyond the stopping point. Actually
continuing in order to pickup/take-out gold would require substantial
changes, but varying the message to be
|Your knapsack can't accomodate any more items (except gold).
when stopping is a one line fix. The parenthesized remark is only
added if there is actually some gold after the current object and is
given regardless of whether autopickup happens to be targetting it.

polymorphed steed phrasing
When you ride your steed into a polymorph trap and it changes into a
creature that can still wear the saddle, the message is
|You have to adjust youself in the saddle on <foo>.
which sounds as if the game is telling the player that he or she needs
to do something. Simplify it to
|You adjust yourself in the saddle on <foo>.

'make' => 'make all'
In sys/unix/Makefile.{top,src}, move the 'all' target first so that
it's the default if no target is specified. Recent lua handling
unintentionally broke that for Makefile.top by putting 'lua_support'
target in front of 'all'.

more Qt rename
In order for 'make depend' to be able to handle both Qt4/5 and Qt3,
they need to operate on different object file names.
renames qt*.o to qt3*.o for Qt3
renames qt*.cpp to qt3*.cpp for Qt3 (not essential but seems worthwhile)
moves Qt3's headers from include/qt*.h to win/Qt3/qt3*.h
copies include/qt_xpms.h (before rename) or win/Qt3/qt3_xpms.h (after)
to win/Qt/qt_xpms.h so that Qt4/5 no longer shares one header file
modifies win/Qt3/*.cpp and win/Qt3/qt3_win.h to reflect new header names
modifies Makefile.src to have Qt3 'moc' commands use new names
updates Makefile.src via re-running 'make depend'
'make depend' was only looking at include/*.h to find nested inclusion.
Now it will also look at win/*/*.h. That found a bunch of missing
dependencies for the old gnome sources and a few for Qt3.
Building without Qt still works. Building with it (any version) has
not been tested.

Allow teleportation onto the Vibrating Square
It's a minor annoyance when you forget you can't do this in vanilla and
then get relocated somewhere random on the level. Since it's not a
harmful "trap", just allow the adventurer to teleport directly onto it.
