    Log Message:
    External rules files now supported, maps.ini file merged into settings.ini

    A starter help file (help.msg) created.

    rules.easy.json included, but currently no different from built-in ("Challening") rules.

    Added pollution to economy.

    Pirates have a configuration sea attack damage now rather than just a
    "sink potential".

    Pirate-attacked trawlers and PT Boats track their damage now (if not destroyed).

    No mutinies during Martial Law.

    Nice up/down green/red arrows to indicate latest changes in stats.

    Some global Ctrl-keys (e.g. Ctrl-U) can now be used.
