My favorite enhancement (number one with a bullet) would be to get these 
movement types working.  For pure play enhancement this is probably the 
most bang you can get for your buck and eyeballing it it doesn't seem to 
be a real hard change to make (I could almost do a poor mans 
implementation myself...)  If we could leave the no_pass flag alone and 
do some sort of thing where we recycle can_pass_thru (is not used right 
now is it?) as a bitmask to indicate which movement types can pass 
through objects then set up some movement flags to check against when 
movement happens.
This will really open up ranged combat, allow for some terrain 
advantages and enable the creation of some really neat maps (archers in 
turrets, bridges and moats, pirate boarding parties, being able to keep 
some distance between a monster and your character, being able to keep 
some space between the player and your goblin bowmen...)
Please consider this - it's nice to have things like support for neon 
penguins but I would love some real play enhancement too.
