[NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without

[Pooty]

I have found an improvement for Zany 01 in Lemmings Redux.

Zany 01 "The bridge is breaking down." - Removed 1 climber, 1 basher and 1 miner. New total = 1 builder, 1 basher

[namida]

Redux / Quirky 30 "Izzie Wizzie Lemmings Get Busy" improved to 3 builders.

NL results for Amiga 2-player levels. Obviously, these have major gameplay differences when trying to play them in 1-player mode; some levels have the "other player's" exit right by each trapdoor and can be solved with no skills at all Also, these levels give a lot of skills and the destructive skills are largely interchangeable, so nearly all levels have a "None" result or only require as many builders as are necessary to cross whatever gaps exist. Still, the levels exist so they have to be SYCLWed!

1 "There can be only one" - 1 builder
5 "Good game! Good game!" - 3 builders
7 "and the winner is....." - 2 builders
14 "The Passing Place" - 6 builders*
15 "Take what you can, when you can" - 5 builders
17 "Graffiti" - 2 builders
19 "May the craftiest player win" - 1 floater, 7 builders
20 "We're in this one together" - 11 builders
21 "Battle at Midway" - 10 builders*
All others: None

* I believe these two can be improved, by 2 in each case, but haven't confirmed this yet.
