Change the position field in the struct command_info to be a bitvector
rather than a plain integer. In the cmd_info table, you fill in the
field with a list of positions that that command can be done in. Then
in the command_interpreter, you just need to change the position check.
I did this with DG, originially to get rid of the fighting position to
make bash useful and implement riding. It also makes it easy to extend
commands with "pseudo positions" like silence... it took about 10 minutes
to add the silence spell to DG. Check out the DG code if you are looking
for implementation details.
