We can't give out the mapdbref and use it as a map identifier because of,
for instance, simpods. You'll just end up loading the wrong map.

Likewise, we can't give out 'serial numbers' for maps to indicate they have
changed, because of EV work and fights and all that on '30 changing the map
-- it would be an OOC way of gathering info. If it's none-the-less a desired
extention, I will accept patches for it... but as an optional item, and it
will be turned off for 3030 :)

I know I haven't written a client myself, so I can't really tell you people
what to do, but I'd probably just make it a manual operation, choosing the
map.
