[crossfire] Improved collect.pl script

I voluntarily choose to do that at collect time, because doing
it at item or map load time may be bad for loading performance.
Also it's much easier to do it with Perl than C :)

      I'm not sure what you mean. CrossEdit reads the archetypes

      the server does. It won't know the difference because it
     
     will read the

The Java editor can use "raw" archetypes from the arch
directory. Thus it needs too to support "attacktype fire".
As I don't know Crossedit, I don't know whether it always uses
collected archetypes or if it too can use uncollected ones.
