// huffware script: giftorse, by fred huffhines
//
// this script advertises a product in a store.
// how to configure this script: the object name is known automatically, but the seller
// and store names are not.  also the cost is not currently automatic, since there seems
// to be no way to figure it out.  all of the variable data can be stored in a notecard
// in the following format:
//
//   #giftorse
//   cost = N
//   creator = X
//   shop = S
//   label = L
//
// where N is a numerical cost for the item in linden dollars, X is the name of the creator
// of the object, S is the name of the shop where the object is being sold, and L is a label
// to show above the object.
//
// this script supports a sales paradigm, where normally it just shows the
// appropriate title, but once the customer has bought it, it will permanently set
// it's last title and exit, but not before telling the user how to get the contents.
// this script depends on the "non-script giver" script also being in the same object.
// that's what let's it promise that the stuff will be given out on touch.
//

// the function auto_retire() should be added *inside* a version numbered script that

// when the containing script is dropped into an object with a different version, the
// most recent version eats any existing ones.
//   keep in mind that this code must be *copied* into your script you wish to add
// auto-retirement capability to.
// example usage of the auto-retirement script:
//     default {
//         state_entry() {
