Alpha: 2.0.1 alpha 68

Hi all,

after a long wait, I've released another alpha version as usual at 
http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

This one has an amazing new feature by Steven Hoefel: trams!  Enable them 
with "trams on", load the new tram track graphics and build them.  Then 
wait for a grf set that actually defines trams... hopefully it shouldn't 
take too long.  Note that this is still a work in progress, and while most 
things work, in particular level crossings with rail as well as bridges 
and tunnels don't work entirely.

In other news there were a bunch of minor bug fixes and changes, such as 
allowing vehicle lists to be sorted by the first destination, and allowing 
trucks to go to non-stop bus stops (which can be built by attaching a bus 
stop to a rail waypoint, and if you like removing the waypoint afterwards).

There may be one more alpha version this year depending on how things turn 
out, and then I will probably start the beta process towards a new stable 
release version in the new year.

Enjoy!

Josef
