WARNING: SPOILER BELOW!









The ferry is not a decoy!

For some reason I don't like the idea of changing the ConserveLevel
attribute in the middle of the level.  I don't think it's fair to let the
player continue the level early on, but force them to restart the level if
they die after doing a lot of hard work.  I think I'll implement my proposed
change and submit a patch.

Cheers,
