[patch] automatic orientation of station buildings

Normally, complex station buildings (layouts>=8) (Dims=1,1,16) have to be build from back to front to get the orientation of the station tiles right.

This patch fixes the original algorithm: now one can build also from front to back. This works best for double tracks.

SHouldn't this work with 16 too?

Yes, you are right. In fact, the patch is only for buildings with Dims=1,1,16   :::)

Original intention was that by building it one direction or another you could tweak stations to have island or side platforms, dunno if patch changes that?

Dwachs, please keep the original behaviour.  It is good to be able to build either island platforms or opposite platforms at present.  At present you can easily build either, depending on where you first click the station; having this choice is a good thing IMO.

is it possible, as I purposed twice months ago, to select the orientation of a station ? I saw many times ago a patch for that but it wasn't included :(
Is it possible at least to have the choice of activate or not the human selection/automatic selection ?

I think human selection would be great to avoid making many buildings juste for one thing.

I recently had a station build 'wrong' based on how I wanted it done, and I couldn't figure out what went wrong and didn't have the extra money to bulldoze and redo it. I often wish for a manual orientation selector.
