Ah.

<blink> Could be used to make multiplayer critters appear in solo mode 
too, yes? Given that some are more populous in MP mode... so strip ALL 
the MP bits from everything, to quickly add more monsters?

See, I've been pining for something to liven up old maps that are 
still fun but by now are much too easy. My first thought was to pull 
the monster-placement source out of SLIGE and use it as the base, to 
determine where you can safely "double" existing monsters (since SLIGE 
does pretty well at not sticking them inside walls or each other).
