Why not make the overall difficulty of the game configurable within the 
config files, at compile time. You could select a level (for example, 
easy, medium or hard) and some of the code that makes it harder (stuff 
like multiple experience catagories, amount of experience lost when you 
die with the no_permadeath  option enabled, etc) would be included or 
left out accordingly. Or would this make the source to big and/or messy?

(BTW I personally like the difficulty level of the game as it is now, but 
some people seem to like to get level 40 characters overnight ;-)
