Description Box enhancement: Compare Items

With ridiculous amount of items introduced in 1.13 and other mods, possibly multiplied by "Drop All" option, looting selecting the best equipment for your mercs might become a chore and lead to useful gear left behind.
Now, when alt key is pressed, statistics of any item displayed in Description Box will change to show comparison with another items in sector inventory, allowing for quick revision of available equipment.

Two items can be compared, if they belong to the same class, with exception of:
- armor items can be compared only if they are of the same type (vest vs vest, helmet vs helmet, no point in comparing item if it can't be replaced by),
- weapons can be compared with any other weapon (including throwing knives vs guns, knives vs blunt weapons, etc.),
- explosives - bombs can be compared with grenades too (makes sense since TNT can be armed and thrown too).

nice feature. too bad that you can accidentally sell items. Alt key is not best choice for the feature.

The files and patch are for updating the game code. They are nothing you will normally need and use unless you compile your own Ja2.exe.

Just wait until DepressivesBrot releases a new SCI which has the new feature you are looking for.

End of March? I'm pretty sure I have newer packs than that.

Update:
- changed shortcut from "alt" to "ctrl" to prevent accidental sales (ctrl+LMB apparently places item in inventory),
- restored displaying code to more coherent state,
- all columns can be compared - base value, modifier and final value too.
