Made the spawner more streamlined, and allowed the @spawn command to access prototypes in a file specified by the optional PROTOTYPE_MODULES setting.

+"""
+Example prototypes read by the @spawn command but is also easily
+available to use from code. Each prototype should be a dictionary. Use
+the same name as the variable to refer to other prototypes.
+
+Possible keywords are:
+    prototype - string pointing to parent prototype of this structure
+    key - string, the main object identifier
+    typeclass - string, if not set, will use settings.BASE_OBJECT_TYPECLASS
+    location - this should be a valid object or #dbref
+    home - valid object or #dbref
+    destination - only valid for exits (object or dbref)
+
+    permissions - string or list of permission strings
+    locks - a lock-string
+    aliases - string or list of strings
+
+    ndb_<name> - value of a nattribute (ndb_ is stripped)
+    any other keywords are interpreted as Attributes and their values.
+
+See the @spawn command and src.utils.spawner for more info.
