   The easiest way to freeze everyone would be to just set the objects speed_left
to some large negative value (which is basically how paralyze works).  Easiest
would be to freeze for some number of ticks by default (eg, op->speed_left =
-ABS(op->speed) * 100) for 100 ticks for example.

   What may be easier to do is make a wiz command like 'sendto <mapname> <x> <y>
<playername>'.  Now mapname ...  would be a pain to type, but easy enough to
bind keys - could have F1 bound to the right thing to put them in short term
jail, F2 medium term jail, etc..
