More work on ChainShot. Got stats, end of game messages, "connected" neighbors working. Sent off to Arlo to get pretty tiles.

Import/export done and tested on OS X, but crashes in Classic. Must investigate.
Match-up dialog work. Was initially too tall to fit even on 1600 x 1200 screen, went with two column layout and small controls to make it work at 800 x 600.
Multi-file (entire icon) exporting works too, with things getting named properly, enclosing folder being made, etc. Had idea for import matchup dialog.
Started to work on import/export (a.k.a. the Art Vandelay release). Got basic (single file) importing/export working.
Added full-text indexing for searches. Get 2x speed boost, but could be a lot more since there's still overhead for database connections and HTML generation.
