1. "functions.inc"

Are there some jobs planned around this file? I wonder why there are functions
with "not used" and "has no effect" parameters. Is it some kind of backward
compatibility?

2. "metals.inc" and "gold.inc"

Within standard "Insert/Include files"  menu there is only "metals.inc" entry
probably becouse it contains inclusion of "golds.inc" at begining. But some
identifiers (finishes) declared within "golds.inc" are ovewervritten in
"metals.inc". IMO this could be mentioned somewhere in the documentation.

3. "screen.inc"

Floats, vectors and tranform created within Camera_Update macro are not
documented but are global, important and usefull for user.
