  Presumably, that is less an issue if that or other changes requires starting 
characters from scratch.  Some discussions about skills would suggest that may 
be needed.

  Alternatively, it probably wouldn't be hard to allow players to reset per 
player maps (apartments) they may own.  They'd have to do the work of taking 
everything out, etc.  But really, the only code needed to implement that is 
flush out the map, if in memory, and do an unlink of the pathname
