 <h3>Gabba - Share Undoable Moves with Allies</h3>
 To reduce waiting tedium in coop multiplayer games, I want to add an option called ''Share undoable moves with allies''. It would allow you to see your ally's moves exactly as if you were staring at the same screen while he plays his turn. Net effect: you don't wait forever for something to happen, you don't sit through a replay and make others wait in the meanwhile, and you can actually shout to your ally on skype "NO idiot, don't move your white mage there!" before it's too late.

 Sharing undoable moves from enemies would probably make "delay shroud updates" useless, but after all they are somewhat incompatible ideas.

-This is an idea from Boucman that I'll use as an entry point into the code. The description below will be cleaned up and updated as I discuss various design choices.
+Boucman suggested that I use this smaller and somewhat related task as an entry point into the code, so that's what I'm gonna do. The description below is copy-pasted from the mailing list, and will be cleaned up and updated as I solve various design issues.
 The idea is to use the current "goto" system to help players move
