Player to Player Tell/Page

Implement player to player paging/telling as per MUX and MUD. Let players
either use 'page' or 'tell' depending on what they're familiar with.

This should be something fairly simple to implement. I'll have some free time this
evening, and will take a stab at it.

Ok, I'll try to get in the player alias stuff for you to tie into some time today.

I've committed a stab at cmd_page, but I'm having trouble getting the server up and
running under MySQL, so I can't tell if the problem with it (it dumps connection
when you try to "page" someone) is SQLite or MySQL. Needs work, obviously. I might
re-approach it later, I'm sure there's better ways to do what I did. In addition, I
over-simplified error conditions.

I'll have to fix a bug I missed before when I get home - I didn't properly put a
couple of things in tuples for string interpolation.

The page command works now. Just need to add an alias for tell, and all should work
fine, unless we're allowing spaces in character names. But I think there's a
couple of places that might break, if so.

Yes, we will allow spaces in names with 'page', but 'tell' wouldn't work. I haven't
had a chance to look things over yet but if you want an example of a command in the
form of:

command =

See @teleport. This should be very similar to page, since page is

page =

You'll be able to rip off the argument and '=' sign checking code.

I'll get aliases in shortly, I'm a bit railed with work right now but know how I'm
going to approach it.

Well, I've implemented it using that protocol, however I'm not able to successfully
page names with spaces for some reason. I'm still tracking down the issue, I suspect
it might be in the db functions or in the way I'm using the data.

I'm not sure, but you're definitely going to want to change
message = eq_args[1]
To
message = eq_args[1:]
And then join() the message variable into a string (instead of the list). Someone may
put equal signs in their message, currently they'd lose any subsequent equal signs.

After the changes you've made, we've got a working page. I'm going to close this out.
