I removed the 'new', 'this', and fiddled with 'const' till it all worked.

Patches are at http://dragon.ham.muohio.edu/~greerga/Circle/ or
http://www.van.ml.org/CircleMUD
They don't actually use anything C++ specific so you could apply those
patches even if you're still going to use 'gcc' or other non-C++ compiler.
Maybe some day I'll make the buffer patch C++ as I originally designed it.
(acquire_buffer, release_buffer, release_all_buffers being public and the
rest being protected/private depending.)
