 The pit dropthrough for objects will be fixed in the next version, so I
wouldn't bother right now about doing complex methods of working around this
right now.

 I am going to say that the 0.95 releases are doing the correct things.  But
best as I can remember, I don't think anything changed in terms of boulders
rolling.  In either case, the boulder should only move 1 space when pushed, and
in the case of raffles, it is the gates that are pushing it.
