GSoC: COMI: Bug fix for Guybrush walking in Place

Description
Patch against svn trunk as of April 16th.
This patch fixes a bug with Guybrush walking in place when examining certain objects with the 'e' key while walking. The original game did not have this behavior. The error was probably caused because the objects in question don't enforce a "walk to" point for Guybrush before he makes his remarks. The patch manually causes Guybrush to stop walking before processing the scripts triggered by the "examine" command in these specific cases.
Bug 2823309 in the bug tracker.

Upon some further testing, I've noticed that the bug occurs for more than just the objects listed in the bug tracker report. In fact, you can get Guybrush to walk in place when examining many objects that are off in the distance/high up (objects where it makes sense for Guybrush to not have to walk to a specific point before remarking). It seems examining many of these objects, including the distant beach, tiki lamps, voodoo lady's domain exterior, etc. triggers the same script (38). I'll look into this more and possibly submit an updated patch once I've caught up with my coursework this week. I've also uploaded a log I kept while working on the bug fix. :-)

Looks good. And good job adding the log file -- it gives us just the info we want to see :)

Thanks for the patch. This works around the imminent issue. However, I think there must be a bug in our engine itself, as according to Kirben on the bug tracker, in the original game Guybrush will complete walking to the target before starting to talk. So this hints that we either should execute this script later; that there should be some delay somewhere; or something else is not quite right in our VM...

I see your point. In light of the bug likely being caused by an engine problem, I'll hold off on implementing the same workaround for other objects (like the voodoo lady's boat) for now. When I get some time between school projects, I'll try to get at the root of the problem.

After speaking with kirben, I'm rejecting this one, as it clearly wasn't the right solution to the problem.
This patch is linked from the bug report, and the attached log and proposed solution are a very good starting point in pinpointing the actual bug.
Thanks for your submission and the detailed explanation! Closing
