      So how is the bargaining skill supposed to work, and does it work at all now?
     
     
  Bargaining skill gives you a bonus to your charisma.

  The bonus is (player level + 2) / 3.  So at low levels, it doesn't give you 
much a bonus.

  However, looking at the code, I notice that it uses find_skill_by_name, which 
was broken with respect to the new skill code (only in a few areas was that code 
used - the climbing/woodman also used).

  I'll fix up that function, so bargaining should at least work.  But the 
charisma bonus varies - if you're level 10, you're only going to get a 4 point 
boost.

  Realistic, the bonus should be related to the skill level, and not player 
level.  But to do that, some way to get exp in bargaining is needed.
