This new version of the patch contains some more fixes and
improvements.

All compatibility code is gone and god_intervention() was completely
rewritten.  Avatars should be working fine.

I've added some new options to god_intervention().  See
arch/gods/randomitems/ for archetypes that can be put into gods'
treaure lists to activate them.

Each god in this patch has a treaure list, but it contains only the old
features.  There shouldn't be any significant player visible changes in
this patch.

I think there are only two things left until the patch can go into the
CVS:  Writing the change log and testing the patch.

The PATH_NULL kludge in include/spellist.h isn't needed anymore.
I'd like to change the spell paths back to some meaningful values.
I suggest

  immunity to xxx    PATH_PROT
  invulnerability    PATH_PROT
  cause black death  PATH_WOUNDING
  divine shock       PATH_ELEC

(Divine shock doesn't have PATH_NULL at the moment, but PATH_WOUNDING.
However, there are already so many wounding spells, and divine shock
really looks like an electricity spell.)
