Summary: [2.4.3, patch] comp_666 menu description is incorrect

Initial Comment:
I'm glad to see 2.4.x finally has a proper comp_666
switch :)

However the menu description is misleading. It
currently states "Linedef type 666 works at all E1 levels".

A quick inspection of the source p_enemy.c (line 2105
onwards) shows this is not the case. What is actually
happening is the monster type check is being relaxed,
so it can be triggered more than once (once per
last-boss monster death).

This is the correct behaviour as demonstrated by
playing UAC_DEAD.WAD or the original Aliens TC. A
better description is therefore "Tag 666 can be
triggered more than once".

Patch attached.

Hi- the description in 2.4.4 does seem to be the best you
can manage with such short lines. (I will *eventually* get
some code into prboom ;) )

That description wasn't correct either :)
We added one which should fit better, but one line is to short to really do it 
accurately.
