Map Viewer for Redline stuff

bullet 3D preview of road types.
bullet Preview mode/polygon rendering of road.

bullet Generation of map overview + magic numbers for mapinfo files.
bullet Moving and editing attributes in road types window.

bullet Script menu (for full-track-effect shell scripts without interaction).

bullet Basic 3D editing: select and drag points, add and remove points.
bullet New camera control model.
bullet Make plug-in browser columns sortable.

bullet Fancier script support: shell scripts in bundle with config file, specifying full road/selection/insert-at-selection modes of operation, some sort of parameter UI support.
bullet Auxillary file format, to store Map Viewer-specific data/metadata.
bullet Extended 3D editing – Bézier curves, tools for smooth manipulation, overlap prevention.
