[crossfire] Making maps easier to maintain, by creating custom archetypes for duplicated objects.

There are several instances in the maps, where custom objects where
copied and pasted from other maps.  An example to this is the
guidebooks in the post offices.  Recently the guide books in Scorn's
post office where modified, but not the ones in other post offices.
This lead me to think about what requirements have to be met for it to
become practical to replace duplicated custom objects with new
archetypes.

I'm thinking that having two or more of similar objects that appear on
separate maps would be enough warrant a new archetype.

Anyone want to write a script to find duplicate custom objects in
maps, or intergrate it into a map checking script?
