[CF-Devel] Various proposed changes

[tchize]

Since nobody has answered your suggestion on the mailing list, you may 
suppose nobody disagree. I think this could indeed be good ideas, especially 
for what concern detect magic and detect monsters. Be carefull, with detect 
monster to show the full multi-square monster!
