[Rails-devel] Hex trains support

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik,
I have implemented revenue calculation for hex trains (for 1826). Instead of a 
dynamic modifier I kept the (older) plan to add that to the revenue calculator 
directly. So I treat hex trains as "first-class" citizens of Rails and they 
should be supported directly via attributes in XML.

What is your preference for the naming and type of such an attribute?
I would currently prefer a simple boolean isHexTrain = "yes" and (mis-) use 
the number of majors as the number of hexes the train can travel.

But maybe something like distanceType={stops|hexes} and then an integer 
attribute for hexDistance is preferable?
