NewGRF Meta Language

With NML 0.4 we change some of its foundations, it now is written in python3 and requires python 3.2 or newer. Requirements are:

New warnings about and flags for realsprites: (NO)ALPHA, (NO)WHITE and (NO)ANIM. See explanation in realsprite page.
Rigerous caching of real sprites. This improves encoding speed a lot on subsequent runs, especially for NewGRFs with many real sprites, more so for 32bpp
Statistics on the NewGRF on used IDs for vehicles, houses, etc as well as available switches, parameters etc

Feature: vehicle property effect_spawn_model_and_powered and related callback create_effect
Feature: EFFECT_SPRITE_NONE constant for create_effect callback
Feature: support for OTTD_RECOLOUR action5 sprite(s)
Feature: Support for Latin translations
Feature: wagon_speed_limits variable to test for enabled wagon speed limits. (issue #6474)

There's numerous other fixes, changes and additions. For a full changelog, see http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/nml/releases/0.4.0/changelog.txt Get the latest release version from the bundles server: http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/nml/releases/LATEST/
