  This is now applied to CVS.

  This should now be fixed.  The 'problem' is that if the player had a 0 
attacktype, they got the attacktype of their archetype.  And punching and karate 
had no attacktype set, so it pulled the attacktype for the archetype, which was 
physical & fire.  I've just added attacktype to those skills.

  Arguably, this may break things if something was really trying for the 
behaviour.  But that would seem to break in any others.  Eg, if you cast 
confusion on yourself and tried to use karate, you wouldn't kill anything, 
because your only attacktype would be confusion.  If certain attacking skills 
are suppose to gain attacktypes from the parent arch, a better method is needed.

  That is easy enough to change - the ordering right now is in include/skills.h 
- the order is currently karate, clawing, flame touch, and punching.  Probably 
the best way would be for this to be setable by each player, as I don't know if 
there is univeral agreement on what is the best and so on.
