[crossfire] new pickup

[Jeremy Blain]

Valuables, + magic items is easily settable via the gtk interface.
Of course, you'll also end up picking up rings/amulets, but I doubt
you'd want to leave them behind anyway.

And the new pickup, DOES use a pickup mask.  The gtk interface,
merely provides a user friendly way of generating the mask, to send
to the server.

Looking at the code, it wouldn't be hard to define masks for any 
items, that can be differentiated by type.

More complicated, but cool, would be saying something like:

Pickup gems/coins, wands (except burned up ones), magic items (except
magic clubs), although that would mean turning the pickup code into a
programming
language all it's own just about.

      I'd like a pickup mode which is "magic items + coins/gems".

      An extension of this would be a "pickup mask" where any combination
