	Where is this? Are you refering to the "petmove" algorithm?
	If so, it only moves *aligned* NPC's (ones with set_owner(
	PLAYER) set!) to new maps. An algorithm which allowed 
	NPC's to wander throughout the world would be *very* cool.

	Imagine a special "wandering" merchant with rare (and expensive)
	items for sale. or  a medicant preist who will show up every
	so often while the player traverses the "continent" maps, etc.
