Alpha: 2.0.1 alpha 35

Hi all,

Alpha 35 is now available at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

As usual it fixes a number of bugs, most importantly the problems and 
crashes some people had with new station graphics, and the town buildings 
sometimes being built over occupied tiles.

Aside from that, Csaba has improved the new town building support a little, 
to allow built-in colour randomization and easier support for the 
construction stages by including them in the action 1 definition.

He also wrote another entirely new feature, namely .grf support for new 
town name styles.  This is enabled by `newtownnames on' (-YN).  Now we just 
need someone to write a .grf which uses this feature...

Finally, abandonedroads is now a feature which has three different modes, 
set by the switch parameter.  Mode 0 works as before, where unused roads 
become unowned after a while.  In mode 1 towns will take over nearby roads 
instead of them becoming ownerless after a while, and in mode 2 towns will 
take over roads in their vicinity instantly.

Enjoy!

Josef.

- wait for key after language error too
- fixed bug with water sometimes flooding tiles it shouldn't, with

- by Csaba:
   * fixed bug causing cities to build houses on occupied tiles
   * added newhouses prop 17 to set the four colours available for
     random colour translation
   * added newhouses prop 18 to set probability of house being
     built
   * constructions stages are now built into action 1 by using
     from 1 to 4 views per set (though using a var.action 2 will
     still work)
   * new feature, "newtownnames on" (-YN) allows .grfs to define
     new town name sets
   * abandonedroads now has several modes, mode 0 works as before,
     in mode 1 towns will take over nearby roads after a while of
     them not being used, and in mode 2 this will happen instantly
