Ah, one of those patches I sent you Heiko overhauls the room exit
dialogue though I don't think it'll be hit by anything that revises the
TArea code.

I notice from the recent git master branch that setting a normal room's
area to 0 seems to be permitted by the lua code but it really messes
things up for that room - the mapper can't seem to decide which area the
room is in and I think the mapper code draws both "in area" and "out of
area" exits to (or from?) that room.  Using the lua command to then move
the room to another area (or possibly back to the original one) fails
with a "room already exists" sort of message (sorry can't be precise as
don't have development pc booted as I write).  I think that trying to
move the room (original area)->"0"->(different area) ends up with it
being duplicated and that does "not work well" 8-/ in the current code...!

Inspecting the code - I'm not clear how TRoom::setArea( int _areaID )
called from TMap::setRoomArea( int _areaID ) called from either
TLuaInterpreter::setRoomArea() or from somewhere in T2DMap.cpp behaves
if the room concerned has already been allocated to an area.  I can't
see where the room is removed from the TArea(*)->rooms for the *old*
area (or its limits recalculated).  I may be missing something of course
but I'm suspicious!
