* the mapserver won't exit when no mapcache is found, with use_grf: yes

 * Fixed some \r uses, now looks better; /thx to Ai4rei (topic:165952)
 * Removed that ridiculous spinner that displays during map/npc loading, and added a more informative progress indicator (idea from jA/eapp)

 * Checked/fixed/removed some old script and npc commands
  * cmdothernpc - a specialized 'donpcevent' with the event specified as two arguments
  * enablearena/disablearena - completely equivalent to enablewaitingroomevent & co.
  * inittimer/stoptimer - removed since its logic was incompatible with the code it depended on
 * Removed loads of code that supported these functions. Result: -100b per npc => -1,5MB of wasted memory
 * Fixed related npcs that erroneously used 'stoptimer'

 AS OF SVN REV. 5091, WE ARE NOW USING TRUNK.  ALL UNTESTED BUGFIXES/FEATURES GO INTO TRUNK.
 IF YOU HAVE A WORKING AND TESTED BUGFIX PUT IT INTO STABLE AS WELL AS TRUNK.
