Separate messages from code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Currently messages are hard coded inside the functions:

if obj is not None and player.can_see(obj):
        s.message('You look at', obj, '.')

2. It is recommended that all messages remain centralized in a separate 
location, to enable support for custom messages and/or localization:

if obj is not None and player.can_see(obj):
        s.message( get_message('YOU_LOOK_AT') , obj, '.')

In addition to the messages, all of the command words are hard-coded also.

This is a worthy goal, but it is going to take a lot of work to get there...

Changing the command words is only needed for localization, which should be 
more time 
consuming to implement.

In my personal opinion, the main goal here is to allow authors some flexibility 
on 
the response strings, such as using the word 'Matey' in a Pirate-themed game.

That I believe is easier to implement and more on demand then true localization.
