[CF-Devel] destroy boulders

[Mark Wedel]

 The boulders got changed to be indestructible november of 2000 (between version
95.7 and 95.8)  So it hasn't changed for a long time.

 If some specific maps need boulders to be destructible, it is easy enough to
modify the boulders on those maps so it happens.

 Aestheticly, I'm not sure if boulders should get destroyed by fire.  Fire tends
not to destroy stone in most cases in real life.

 barrels can use the same purpose of boulders (ie, be rollable), and they are
destroyable by fire (as it should be).  It seems that that should generally be a
fine replacement when such is needed.

 having the earth to dust destroy boulders could be done, but gets a little
odd.  earthwalls have levels of destructions (they basically have hp), and
boulders/barrels currently don't have that.  So it basically means you have the
case of earthwalls either getting destroyed or not damaged at all (having
barrels act as earthwalls could get done, but then gets odd, as instead of
rolling the boulder, you would attack it and then destroy it).
