For you programmer types out there, here's a patch do confirm accidentaly
breaking weaponless conduct.  It asks for confirmation on actions that would
normally result in a "You start bashing foo with your bar." message.  it won't
ak for confirmation if you explicitly 'w'ield a melee weapon, but will confirm
hitting with bows, slings, 'a'pplied picks, #rubbed lamps, etc.

Save the following block as nethack/src/hwcheck.diff
Apply this with patch -cw -i hwcheck.diff
