OK.  I'll add a matcher_status check command for a single vertex next.
However, it should be noted that the matcher_check script, which generated
all the places with inconsistencies, is based on the matcher_status field.
I just used the dragon_status for regression since there didn't seem to be
anything better.

Also, in many of the cases, owl_does_attack foo bar will return true, but
owlattack bar fails to find any attacks.  I only went and found these for
some of the tests, but I think there are more in the games I sent.
The same is true for owl_defend.
