[CF List] More on resurrection

[Peter Mardahl]

It looks like the code in resurrection.c is so aged that
it is completely unaware of skills.

If someone cares, how about going through and fixing
resurrection?

Erik, if you want to modify how stuff works in server/resurrection.c, I'm
willing to accept patches from you.  The code is badly out of date
and has suffered bit-rot.

In particular, it won't suck experience from anything but the "global"
experience counter, I believe.

      Jan is correct, at least in the CVS server code include/spellist.h.

      Reincarnation was supposed to be the most powerful/hardest.

      I'm changing it like this:

      Reincarnation is clearly the best spell, because no corpse is required.
