To avoid creating thousands of entities, the universe holds a template copy of each commodity. These are then placed, repeatedly, into the hold. If a ship would release a template item, either through ejection or explosion, it is replaced with a genuine cargopod at that point. (issue #39)
Engine flare z size now does something. Values from 0.5-2.0 scale the flare compared with its 'normal' scale. All other values treated as equal to 1.0. shipdata.plist updated with new exhaust z-size parameters for completeness.
Slightly tweak laser turbulence parameter.

- Prevent writing of mainStation beacon.
- Change way that station beacon is handled with ASC - rather than having the compass point at the buoy, just make the main station beacon visible anywhere in the system.

- Shot lasers don't lag behind any more when the player's ship is moving at speed.
- Readjusted position for cobra3 side lasers, to avoid the now noticeable 'laser crosses'.
minor comment rewording.

- Improved the thargletAI slightly.
- Changed policeInterceptAI so that launching ships without target immediately clear the launch area.
- Moved the constrictor script from shipData to the worldScript. (to prevent problems with bad oxp copies of the constrictor)

- some code cleanup.
- OXP change: added new shipdata.plist key 'hyperspace_motor' if set to NO, no NPCs or player ships can enter witchspace on their own. Defaults to YES if not specified. Fuel injection and galaxy jumps are not affected by this change. New translation strings added and GUI screens updated to accommodate this change.

- rock hermits have a docking tunnel consistent with their docking slot.
- when in strict mode, use ring.dat for all docking (as per oolite 1.65 - 1.73).
- renamed the new docking 'rings' as oolite-tunnel.dat and oolite-rocktunnel.dat.
* fix: stopped ship.exitSystem() from generating a clone of itself after leaving the system.

* new js methods added system.addShips(), system.addGroup(), system.addShipsToRoute(), system.addGroupToRoute() if a ship is created near the witchpoint, it gets the witchspace rings, and its status is STATUS_LAUNCHING, otherwise it's STATUS_IN_FLIGHT, and no witchspace effect.
* tentatively fixed berlios bug #14626: 'AI is initialised twice since 1.71'
when entities are added to the universe, the AI state is set to GLOBAL only once after their ID is set. Seems to work.
- reworked witchpoint buoy to use multiple colour flashers.
