* Fix centaur/naga tiles not being displayed correctly in the character

  selection menu.
* Add dolls_data to player_save_info struct, to make it easier to read
  in per-character doll information once we get around to that.
  Including the tiledef files in externs.h is probably overkill, though,
  so we might want to move player_save_info into another header file.
* Fix Xom's repel stair effect moving shops.
* Fix decks granting permanent summons at low power (and only at low
  power).
* Make default settings of the brand options consistent between init.txt
  and initfile.cc.
* Update FAQ.

 # Questions about the Tiles version
 ##############################################
+Q:tiles lag
+
+The tiles version is awfully slow on Windows! What can I do to improve that?
+%%%%
+A:tiles lag
+
+First, we're really sorry about that! Stonesoup 0.5 was tested on several
+systems and the gigantic lag on some Windows systems was completely unexpected.
+
+Crawl 0.5 renders graphics using OpenGL and SDL. For most video cards, this
+should be faster than the 0.4 version. However, the default driver that ships
+with Windows is extremely slow. If you are having performance problems, be sure
+to update your video card driver as a first step.
+
+We're working on a solution for this problem, but in the meantime you can try
+to see whether tweaking some options will improve performance. See
+docs/tiles_help.txt for details. If things are still too laggy after all of
+that, you'll have to either continue playing 0.4.5 until the problem has been
+solved, or you could try the non-graphical console version. Sorry!

+Q:tiles doll
+
+Why can I no longer change the look of my character?
+%%%%
+A:tiles doll
+
+That feature got broken when we transitioned to openGL and needs to be
+reimplemented. It will come back, but we can't say, when.
+
+In the meantime we've implemented a really basic menu (still '-') that lets
+you choose between the default look according to job, equipment mode and one
+of a number of predefined dolls.
+
+Sorry about that!
