I don't like the idea of having a "novice" level (or any other level)
that magically sets some hidden variables.  The original patch had the
right interface, in my opinion.  Better fix this in the other direction
by making the "skill"-influenced variables real variables whose
names start with "ai.".

If there's a lobby to have the "novice" patch on pubserver instead
I'll install it of course.
