Hmm, didn't really mean for it to be applied yet, since it still needs
work, but no harm done.

I thought about this issue.  I think for now that the answer should be
to not allow the INL robot to be voted into existence, but instead
should be set in .sysdef.  Servers should be dedicated INL servers (as
they are now).

The other option would be to copy the pickup database files (.global
and .players, I think) and to copy them back when in pickup mode.
This is probably something we should leave to the future, as the
details could get a bit involved and would take time to do properly.
