Reworked the vectorization process for concave polygons-with-holes for the water-colorization process. The way the SCI0 engine flood-fills work require that the area is contiguous, but they can still be pretty complex. In previous renders, this meant that some areas would anomalously get filled with neighboring colors. The barn door here was particularly problematic but is definitely improved this algorithm in its place.
