Oops! Somehow I managed to overwrite PCMAIN.C with a slightly older copy, so
when I remade NetHack to incorporate the addition that follows, it aborted
right at the beginning.

In the call to gethdate() in PCMAIN.C, change the argument to
	argv[0] ? argv[0] : "hack.exe"
so that it can find itself to determine whether save files are outdated by a 
new version of the program.

Also, in the makefile, add the rule
	tcc -c $(CFLAGS) -d- $*
to the dependency for RIP.C.  Without the "-d-" flag, the compiler will merge
the strings forming the center of the tombstone, so the tombstone will contain
four lines of the same jumbled-together characters from the four lines that
should be written.  (the implicit rule is the same as the above explicit rule,
but without the -d-)
