That does make sokoban-type levels a lot harder in Enigma, than they 
would normally be. Still I kind-of like it - I like challenges ;)

I've been wondering if someone could add Mas Microban 133-135 to Enigma, 
preferably with water around... (You can see these levels e.g. in 
EasySok (http://easysok.sourceforge.net/)

(Ok, perhaps I'm not 100% serious in this... or am I ;)  )

At least in enigma-devel-0.90-patch-77 this is fixed, and stones never 
get placed behinds those two floor switches.

This too is fixed in newer enigma-versions.
