[Un] Unangband 0.6.2-wip7a has been released

Hi,

This release is mostly a bug fix revision to wip7, however, I was able to sneak
in some game play changes.

Source code is available at
http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/unangband-062-wip7a-src.zip

A precompiled OS/X executable is available at
http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/Unangband-0.6.2-wip7a-osx.dmg

Please report any bugs to http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=331

### Game Play ###

- You can now use the run command to 'step' into an adjacent monster, instead of
attacking
it.

- Vampires/inns allow rest until dusk/dawn.

- Service of Healing now available at the temple.

- You no longer have to be full to travel.

- The player only suffers a monster disease if the monster disease state isn't
upgraded. This
gives them some grace e.g. preventing small chance of paralysis on the first
blow.

- Disease monsters now afflict you with the disease effects straight away.

- Different approach to applying disease effects. They now only hit you when you
enter a level,
unless a quick disease (which retains the old process).

- Added ecologies based on monster name and dragon breaths.

- Make trees resistant to blunt weapons.

### User Interface ###

- Added display of command listing by pressing Enter key.

- Grey out gifted and chosen school choices where no spell available in the
first spellbook.

- Prevent show_tips interrupting running and repeated actions.
