Alpha: 2.0.1 alpha 73

This time I'm not even going to mention the beta.  Just get the latest 
alpha at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

Lots of bugs and crashes have been fixed again.  Some may not be fixed, in 
particular I haven't been able to reproduce the "weird text" problem that 
has been reported, and until I can reproduce it I probably can't fix it. 
As for the DOS version, there are some indications that the crashes at 
start are fixed, although I still have no idea what caused them or what 
fixed them...

The only new feature in alpha 73 is complete Unicode support: it is now 
possible to load glyphs (character symbols) for any Unicode character, and 
use it by encoding text strings with UTF-8.  This allows TTD and TTDPatch 
to be translated into languages whose characters don't normally exist in 
TTD (even Japanese or Chinese... if someone makes the necessary fonts).

Anyway, enjoy the new version.

Josef.
