Running Village4-1 under Swarm 1.0.5

[Paul Johnson]

I've decided to see what this program does.  To fix it, I took these
steps:
  1. The file Exchange.h needs #import <stdlib.h>
  2. Make changes of several Probemap * probemap statements
    into id <Probemap> probemap.
  3. Change the statement in AgentObserverSwarm.m that included doTkEvents
     so that the object at which the message is aimed isactionCache, instead
     of controlPanel.

After these changes, I can make the vila4 program, with the (possibly minor) 
exception of compiler warnings about duplicate definitions of getState.  To
be thorough, here is the make warning:

   AgentObserverSwarm.m: In function `_i_AgentObserverSwarm__buildObjects':
AgentObserverSwarm.m:178: warning: multiple declarations for method `getState'
/swarm/swarm-1.0.5/include/simtools.h:20: warning: using `-getState'
Agent.h:118: warning: also found `-(int)getState'

 
Now, when I run vila4, the program seems to run (well, I don't know
what it is supposed to look like, but I think it runs) only when the
zoom factor is set to 1.  If I set it to any other value, it crashes,
dumps core, and says this: 

*** event raised for error: WindowUsage
nonsquare zoom given.
*** execution terminating due to error
Aborted (core dumped)

This happens if the zoom is set at 4, or any number but 1, AFAIK.
