Okay, instead of using the login name of "robot!" to ID robots. This patch now uses the PFBPROBOT flag as suggested by other people. As the previous update_players was not incorporated into www.netrek.org's darcs repo.... All the changes are here too (except the ones needed for newbie.c, which is one line, add the -g option when forking a new robot into the game).
