Is there any documentation on this?  I can't find any place in the code that reads the XML for a private company that anything like a buy in multiplier is read or set per private company.

I *can* find this in the PublicCompany class, but if I want to have different multipliers for different private companies (so that, for instance, in 1848 the various privates can be bought in for different ranges of values), this doesn't seem to work.  I can get around this by setting different base prices for the privates, and then writing extra code so that they are sold for some other price in the auction, but this seems not like the best way to proceed.
