Summary: Ability to equip an item to a choice of Slots

Initial Comment:
This request is to allow for data to code items which can be equipped to 
more than one possible slots. The item would have multiple Slot TYPEs 
and could be equipped to any ONE of the slots.

Currently PCGen becomes confused when asked to equip an item with 
multiple equipment slot types, it either defaults to one or simply equips 
the item without filling a slot.

Modify the behaviour of the Equipping Tab as follows: 
When an item has more than one slot type the Equip window should 
present those slots as options for location to equip the item instead of 
the Equipped option and in addition to Carried and Not Carried.

With this in place a magic item with TYPE:Glove.Bracer would present 
these options when equipped:

* Hand
* Arm
* Carried
* Not Carried

OK how about this: We have a SLOTS tag for equipment now which says how 
many slots the equipment takes up, this is used for things like a pair of 
gloves which take two hand slots.

We have the coders make this work with different slot types as well, so per
your example the Armor would have TYPE:Armor.Amulet and SLOTS:2. 
Instead of offering a choice it would only offer Equipped and use up the two 
slots. It would also not allow you to equip the item unless both slots were 
free.
