Actually, there is an even better method, now that I'm thinking about
how to solve the problem.

Supporting unlimited tiles doesn't require changing the XML.  It
simply requires finding the places in the code where we check for tile
availability, and adding an extra condition to it, so that it reads
"if a tile is available or the unlimited tiles option is selected, lay
a tile".

-------------------

[EV] Hardcoding the unlimited setting would exactly having been 
my approach in this case.
That would require only adding one condition to Tile.java line 203
(the game options map is passed down through the Tag hierarchy).
