Support for 2D landviews - map pointers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The original Dungeon Keeper contains a very pretty 3D landview which slowly 
turns corrupt the further you progress into the campaign.
Custom campaigns also require landviews, but making a good looking 3D landview 
is something that something only a very skilled computer artist can do, and it 
will take almost as much time as creating the campaign itself.

The result is people take actual images and make a bit of it red on every 
completed level, but this looks very unprofessional.

People would be better of using 2D images, as that looks better with not as 
much effort. Some examples:

However, people are still stuck using the 3D ensign, which looks silly on a 2D 
map.
It would be best to include some map pointers to be used as alternative to map 
ensigns.  In the campaign.cfg the mapmaker should be able to indicate it is a 
2D map so that the 2D pointers are used.

I’ve attached the 2D pointers in a format ready to be included into the game, 
and a zip with dkflag00.dat/tab which can replace the original files to see 
them animated ingame.

I'm guessing more software changes are needed to get this to work in version 
0.4.6?

Yes; but data files are there.
