Summary: WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY tag enhancement for Spycraft 2

Initial Comment:
Spycraft 2 has a little twist on the non-proficient penalty concept, the
penalty varies depending on the proficiency type. For example the 
penalty for Blunt type weapons (club, baton) is -2, the penalty for 
Service Revolvers is -4 and penalty for Heavy Machine Guns is -8.

This penalty is set in the miscinfo.lst gameMode file with the
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY tag, all the current gameModes use
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-4 and up till now that was all that was 
needed.

I propose we add a second optional parameter to this tag to specify a 
weapon proficiency type.

WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:x|y

X = Penalty value
Y = Proficiency type

Examples:

WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-2|Blunt
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-4|Edged
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-6|Rifle
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-8|HMG

If no type is specified the tag applies to any weapon not covered by 
another
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY tag, for example if a gameMode had these 
tags in it:

WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-4
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-6|Exotic
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-8|Ancient

Then any weapon without an Exotic or Ancient weapon proficiency type 
would incur a -4 penalty for non-proficiency.

What is wrong with adding TYPE to it instead of number.  I don't like
having the weaponprof type after the modifier.

WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:Blunt=-2
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-4         (ALL is assumed)

WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:-4
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:Exotic=-6
WEAPONNONPROFPENALTY:Ancient=-8

Ok, the =- bit is confusing.  Exotic,-6 ?

I just don't like the -4|Exotic syntax structure.  Breaks from
everything we have, with assigning to a specific thing, then the
number being assigned.
