	Change the exp of the pets to approxiametly what you want
	the pets to cost.  Furey made pets exp 0 so you couldn't buy
	pets and kill them to level.  But this screwed up the pet shop.
	What I did was change the way pets are calculated on level of
	mobile.  A very simple way to do this is GET_LEVEL(mob) * 250,
	although mine was much more complex.

	Look in spec_assign.c, I _believe_ there is a shopkeeper
	spec-proc, although I'm unsure.
