27 August 2001 [Slate]:
- Changed linkedlist.cpp and btree.cpp into generic or template classes

08 August 2001 [Falknor]:
- Added support for the neuter sex:
	- Added SEX_MALE, SEX_FEMALE, and SEX_NEUTER to indflags.h
	- Added char *sex_table[] to indflags.h
	- Added get_sex(), get_sex_str(), set_sex(), is_female(), and is_neuter()
	  to individual.[h;cpp]
	- Removed set_sex() from player.[h;cpp]
	- Modified all existing gender code that worked off of is_male(), 
	  INDFLAG_MALE, and GAMEFLAG_MALE checks to now use the appropriate 
	  functions.
	- Added code to aime.cpp and generator.cpp to properly convert data files.
	- Added commands to allow setting the sex of a mobile/player.
	- Reformatted the way describe looks to players/builders for mobiles. Take 
	  a look at it and tell me what ya think.  If it looks better, will convert 
	  the others.

- Added support for levels of visibility:
	- Added VIS_VISIBLE, VIS_GAME, VIS_INCOG, and VIS_ADMIN to indflags.h
	- Added char *vis_table[] to indflags.h
	- Added get_vislvl(), get_vislvl_str(), set_vislvl(), is_visible(),
	  is_vis_game(), is_vis_incog(), is_vis_admin(), and virtual bool can
	  _see_ind() = 0 to individual.cpp  The reason behind the pure virtual 
	  is because a) it /is/ necessary for the function to be in everything 
	  that inherits from individual, and  b) the code for mobiles and 
	  players were different. If you like, take out the pure portion... I 
	  just prefer to let the compiler catch it if osmeone decides to jack
	  with things isntead of relying on one of us *shrugs*
	- Added can_see_builder(), is_visible(), and is_vis_admin() to Builder.
	- Added int vislvl to Individual and Builder.
	- Added visiblecom(), incognitocom(), and admininviscom() and the flags 
	  and table entries to support the commands.
	- Added all relevant code to the converter to convert areas over to use 
	  the vislvl.
	- Modified userscom(), tellcom(), show_individuals(), and socketscom() 
	  to properly display when people are invisible.  Need to think of a 
	  good way to make says and chatlines work with the system.  saycom() 
	  is a problem because it uses send_location() to do all the work.  
	  Glance at it and you'll see why it's a problem.
	- Other things I had to do that I can't remember.

- Added the WIN32AutoStart field to aime.conf.
- Fixed a tiny bug with my previous change to the gender code.
