The two places that I found messed up were the REMOVE_FROM_LIST() and
CHECK_PLAYER_SPECIAL() macros in utils.h.. I replaced REMOVE_FROM_LIST()
with the stock version as yours seemed to be incomplete. The other I
simply removed the linefeed from the middle of the delcaration.
(fyi: if you use a good editor with highlighing, like vim, you can quite
easily detect these types of problems because the coloration of the macro
definition is distinctive and you can see where it is broken) -2c
With these changes, the code compiles.. if you have other problems
give a yell. There were some other minor compile warnings but they were
not related to this stuff.

Below is a patch which fixes your utils.h to a working version.
