It's possible with some work.  Because player stat structures depend on
the various LTD_STATS* defines, recompile is a necessity to switch server
modes right now.  We could create duplicate structures for pickup vs INL
modes, but that would make things messy.  Or we could use mutiple files
when in INL mode.  The best solution is to enable LTD_STATS with
LTD_PER_RACE in both pickup and INL modes, then rely on the current
compatibility functions to merge the stats at run-time.  The downside is
that the player DB files would become huge.
