      The map loader (loader.l) parses these values, but

  Which gives the interesting issue - if you logged out, and then logged back 
in, these would be fixed.

      So we can either:

      a.) add the transformation to treasure.c,
     
     
  This is the approach I took (now in CVS)

        This is s possible as there is no treasure list containing only one

  Yeah - unfortunately, there is no way to currently have arch's start with an 
inventory.

  The one problem with the above change is that that could mess up value some (I 
don't know if any maps have actually changed the potion object).  I'd think it 
should otherwise work, because I believe the loader code is smart enough to 
generate the spell treasures for any objects on the map that need it (otherwise, 
all maps that just had a spellbook sitting there would be broken).

      c.) set "other arch" accordingly in the archetypes

         and get item generator to parse that.
