(svn r1407) -Codechange: changed a lot around _stations, _vehicles, _towns and _industries
(in prepare of dynamic arrays):
- DEREF_XXX is changed into GetXXX
- All direct call are directed via GetXXX
- struct Industry has now an index-field
- ENUM'd some stuff
- Replaced home built loops with FOR_ALL_XXX
- Added _stations_size, _vehicles_size, ... which gives the length of the
array (which will be dynamic in the near future)
- Changed lengtof(XXX) to _XXX_size (e.g. _stations_size)
- Removed all endof(XXX) (because mostly it was part of a FOR_ALL_XXX)
- Made the sort-functions of all 4 dynamic
- Made all 4 Initialize functions more of the same
- Some minor tab-fixing and stuff
(tnx to Tron for proof-reading my 100kb patch ;))

Note for all: please do NOT directly call _stations, _vehicles, _towns and
_industries, but use the right wrapper to access them. Thank you.
Ps: please also do not use 'v++', where v is of type Vehicle *.
This is a guide to compile strgen on gcc

All this is done in the makefile, so it's only interesting for people, who wants to alter something themselves (translators)

HOWTO compile lng files:

First you get strgen compiled (look below/download nightly build/run makefile)

strgen takes the argument of a txt file and translates it to a lng file and places that lng file in the same dir as the txt file.

Example 1:
if you are in the root of your working copy (svn code), you should type
strgen/strgen lang/english.txt
to compile englist.lng. It will be placed in the lang dir

Example 2:
you have strgen but not the source and you want to compile a txt file in the same dir. YOu should type
./strgen english.txt
and you will get english.lng in the same dir

You can change english to whatever language you want

Commands used by strgen

-v --version
strgen will tell what svn revision it is based on

-t
strgen will add <TODO> to the missing strings and use the english strings while compiling
this will need english.txt to be present

-w
strgen will print any missing strings to standard error output(stderr)
this will need english.txt to be present

here are a very useful tool for translators:

HOWTO compile strgen:
(this should be useless as you can just type make)
Goto the main dir
Compile by typing
gcc strgen/strgen.c -o strgen/strgen -DUNIX
or if you want it to tell the revision too
gcc strgen/strgen.c rev.o -o strgen/strgen -DUNIX -DWITH_REV (this is the one the makefile uses)

you now have a program called strgen in the strgen directory
