      Giants don't throw boulders.  They have them; they just don't throw them.
     
     
  This is now fixed.  This got broken when the code was removed that caused 
monsters to through misc junk (eg, coins, clubs, etc).  apparantly, it was that 
same code that was responsible for them for throwing boulders.

      That happened when stepping on a very large pile of objects.  The

  I've changed the 'That item is too heavy..' to not be a unique message - thus, 
the server should group those together like it does with other messages.

      It would be nice if shop inventories would list "17 daggers" instead

      of "dagger" 17 times.  This would make shops easier to browse.
     
     
  I sort of combined those two points together - I've changed it so that it does 
combine all the items of the same type together.  I also changed it so that it 
uses the same query_base_name for all items, so it doesn't add the armor and 
other details.

  I'm not sure if I like that list bit - for some items, you sort of want that 
extra information.
