(svn r7196) -Feature: use fontconfig so one can set the font family name in openttd.cfg instead of the full path to the font.

(svn r7195) -Feature: [FS#297, optional elrails] New patches/vehicles option 'disable electrified railways'.
(original patch by maedhros, ideas: peter1138, Darkvater, Rubidium, Patrick, Eddi|zuHause, ..)

(svn r7194) -Fix (FS#237): the electric rail type was not set correctly for NewGRFs where the engine traction type was set before the track type of the trains.

(svn r7191) -Feature: Add NewGRF support for 32 bit dates, allowing vehicles and bridges to be available before 1920.

(svn r7190) -Fix: If the non-player-based _patches setting was changed on the server during MP game, the callback function was:
1. Called only on the server but not on its clients.
2. Was called before the setting change occurred (usually with no effect)
3. Received old 'p1' argument value intead of new one
It could cause some MP desyncs in the future.

(svn r7187) -CodeChange: [win32] Limit success of ToUnicode/ToAscii to only one translated character as we only support one and remove TranslateMessage() call since we do not use it anyways (glx)
