But how about that...all I had to do was remember when I wrote it 
(actually I was off by 2 days).

A lot of the patch is outdated and unnecessary - fixing pieces of code 
that have already been fixed.  The tilespec code is probably still 
pretty applicable, though.  Note that we have functions map_to_gui_dir 
and gui_to_map_dir now (the concept for these was first developed in 
this patch).
