zMUD mapper

For those who use zMUD to connect to Aetolia, you probably know that it
has a handy automapper that has a really hard time with Aetolia's room
description format. I've made some changes that should help the mapper
configure and operate a lot better.

If you do the following, the mapper should be fairly easy to configure:

- While configuring, turn on verbose room descriptions. You can turn it
back off after configuration, but having verbose descriptions on makes
things easier.
- In the map window, click 'Config', then 'Configuration Settings' to
open the Map Preferences window. Select 'Speedwalking' and change the
radio button under 'Automatic Room Matching' from 'Match first line of
room description' to 'Match room name.' This will prevent it from
choking on prepended text like weather messages.
