Freedoom's menu font is wider than Doom's, but vanilla-like engines such
as Chocolate Doom hard-code the location of the indicator to the right
of the graphic detail menu option, so it ends up overdrawn.
Apply a patch x-offset of -15, as suggested by shadow1013 in
<http://www.doomworld.com/vb/freedoom/57738-option-menu-bug/>.
[RjY: note: I am slightly concerned that it is just papering over the
cracks of an engine deficiency, and will cause problems for any engine
that tries to be more intelligent about setting out its menus.]
[RjY: despite the high visual detail it seems to be vanilla-compatible,
at least it was fine running around for 10 minutes in chocolate-doom]

The borders around the two ceiling computers in the first room (sectors
21 and 23) had TLITE on them, which looks awful in such a sector, so I
changed it to "something generic and grey" (CEIL3_5)
Thanks to Protox in #freedoom for the report.
Add fraggle's sample DeHackEd patch to change the names of all game items
to differ from those of id's original. He writes:

[RjY: I tweaked the shotgun pickup message for consistency; it was the
only weapon pickup message not ending in an exclamation mark]

The placeholder monster sprites (those with the graphic not done
template overlaid) aren't used any more; nothing is linked to them.
Therefore speed up the build process by skipping this step.
This almost compensates for the extra time required to build Freedoom
since the helper scripts were rewritten in Python (joking)

re-applied from 13abc23c:
- remove zdoomism from backpack secret's door
- fix pegging on armour secret's door's tracks
- remove several unnecessary linedef and sector tags
Also make the chainsaw secret less obvious, by making linedef 2654
secret. There is already a subtle visual hint (look at the bottom
of the wall)

- make teleporter exit point thing 11 in sector 116 exist on all skill
levels, so the final chaingunner for the blue key trap can teleport
- make it harder to get the blue key without triggering the trap, by
copying the trigger on linedef 941 to linedef 641 as well
- change specials of linedefs 2168 and 2170 to be manual, so the door
can be opened without relying on implicit manual zero tag behaviour
- make the slime alcoves in the yellow key corridor damage the player
- set lower-unpegging flag on doortracks for the armour secret and the
blue key door (sectors 247, 374; linedefs 1472, 1475, 2176, 2182)
- remove unnecessary tag 46 from sector 46 and its surrounding linedefs,
since the door is a manual one.
- remove unused sector tag from linedefs 154 and 168
"Trivial" meaning only object properties changed, not references, so a
small diff and no nodebuild required.

These resources were:
- unused by any map,
- in the wrong palette,
- and broken on Chocolate Doom (FreeDM)
It's easiest to remove them.

Edited together from existing TROO* and SPOS* sprites.
Modifications:
- convert PNGs to GIFs (TROO[N-P])
- symlink TROO[Q-U] which are identical to corresponding SPOS[Q-U]
- update buildcfg.txt using SPOS sprite insertion points as a guide.

Remove the #ifdef FREEDM section that makes all monsters appear as a
black silhouette. This leaves sprites/{blank,nomonst}.gif unused.
I believe the plan is that FreeDM will become a vanilla-compatible IWAD
that the user can use with Chocolate Doom to play single player vanilla
maps, so real monsters are needed in it.

With shareware gone, only Doom2 and Ultdoom remain, and in particular
there is no non-Ultdoom Doom1 target. Therefore #ifdef ULTDOOM sections
inside #ifndef DOOM2 sections are just extra clutter.

I found this checking for duplicate lumps in the built IWADs.
It wasn't used as the "real" D_E3M4 overrode it.

This was a lot easier to do without having to worry about shareware!

Consensus that the "shareware" target was no longer necessary was
reached long ago[1]. It just needs to actually get done. Thus:
Makefile:
- remove shareware targets
buildcfg.txt, textures/combined.txt:
- remove #ifdef/#ifndef SHAREWARE sections (almost entirely #ifndef)
graphics/help2.gif:
- remove symlink, help2 screen was shareware-only
gitignore:
- remove shareware files no longer built
textures/shareware:
- remove directory
