I've always thought it a bit funny that shopkeepers didn't mind you having
a box or pickaxe IN the shop -- you are only checked when you enter.  It
was recently pointed out that you can currently always get in the front door
with a pickaxe if you are patient enough.

Below is a context diff for a patch (with a couple of older ones included)
which will cause the shopkeeper to become angry if you are ever in his shop
with a box or a pickaxe (aside from standing on the front door).

I disagree with this "fix" - it violates the shopkeeper philosophy.
As it is now the shopkeeper will NEVER attack you unless you attacked
him first. This pseudo-fix would make the shopkeeper attack you under
other circumstances as well, e.g. when you fall into a shop through a
trapdoor while carrying a pick-axe.
