Forces need to be more powerful

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As a guess at how to tweak this, strong forces should be able to move
nearby blobs of the same size a distance roughly 2.5 times their diameter.

i'll check out the scaling between large/small blob movement, too

* forces now 10x more powerful.
* forces only applied on objects within a fixed radius (1/5 the board size).

i think we need to flip the ratio of size to force.  even with the limited area 
of
effect, small pusher blobs are still more like projectiles launching backward 
rather
than actual pushers.  plus, large force blobs are pretty worthless this way.  by
switching the, i think large/small blob forces become more intuitive to the 
user and
will be still be balanced since we added damage for small blobs. what do you 
guys think?

I'd like to try this change.

Yes, please... forces seem to be pretty useless at the moment.

Refixed in r437. Now with tweakable constant! It needs some play testing.
