Alpha: 2.0.1 alpha 48

Hi all,

here's the latest alpha: http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

This time I had some time to work on PBS a bit more.  It's getting ever 
closer to working 100%.  To make it a bit more customizable, it's now a 
bit switch, see the manual page for more details.  As a consequence, 
I've removed the "noautopbsblocks" miscmods settings since it's been 
absorbed into the pathbasedsignalling switch proper.

In addition, I've modified the gamespeed switch a little.  It now 
displays the current speed setting in the statusbar to the right (if 
faster) or left (if slower) of the date.  The fastest setting is now 
much, much faster in fullscreen, running the game at the maximum speed 
your CPU can cope with.

I've also added a new sign cheat, "Cht: DeleteVehs" that removes from 
the game all of your vehicles on the tile where you place the cheat. 
Sometimes vehicles get stuck badly and can't be removed, this sign cheat 
is a last resort to fix that situation by simply removing all vehicles 
on that tile from the game.

Finally, Mek has again surpassed himself and made diagonal rails 
draggable, so that you can now build those pesky stretches with just a 
simple drag of the mouse.  He also added some new miscmods settings that 
fixed a limitation in TTD that required industries to be close to the 
station *sign* to deliver cargo to the industry, as well as completely 
disabling messages about vehicles getting old.

Have fun!

Josef
