That I had planned to do when tiles would be displayable:
trying out the right rotation codes by trial and error (!).
So now is the time to start working on that.

No, Tiles.xml is not read yet. But I think this file has the necessary
ingredients to create an internal representation of each tile's
nodes and tracks in terms of objects and relations between objects
(although I have some vague ideas on how it could be done).

I'll look at what you have now tomorrow, maybe it inspires me to
something....
