+    This is checked by the ugly 0x4C >> direction magic, which does the following:
+      0x4C is 0100 1100 and tileh has only bits 0..3 set (steep tiles are ruled out)
+      So: for direction (only the significant bits are shown)<p>
+      00 (exit towards NE) we need either bit 2 or 3 set in tileh: 0x4C >> 0 = 1100<p>
+      01 (exit towards SE) we need either bit 1 or 2 set in tileh: 0x4C >> 1 = 0110<p>
+      02 (exit towards SW) we need either bit 0 or 1 set in tileh: 0x4C >> 2 = 0011<p>
+      03 (exit towards NW) we need either bit 0 or 4 set in tileh: 0x4C >> 3 = 1001<p>
+      So ((0x4C >> p2) & tileh) determines whether the depot can be built on the current tileh
