solution than storing the airport data a second time ;-)

Usage: parsexml(<path> [, <start-tag> [, <end-tag> [, <data> [, <pi>]]]]);
<path> is an absolute file path, the rest are optional callback functions.
Example:
parsexml("/tmp/foo.xml", nil, nil, func(d) { print("DATA FOUND: ", d) });
where type is one of string (default), double, float, long, int, bool
Using only the first letter works, too.
--prop:foo=123 ... sets property foo to string 123 (old behavior)
--prop:string:foo=123 ... verbose version of above
--prop:s:foo=123 ... slightly less verbose version of above
--prop:bool:foo=1 ... makes property a bool of value 'true'
I hope this isn't considered a silly gimmick. I need this often and maybe
other developers do, too. It's useful in cases where the difference really
matters. if (getprop("/foo")), for instance, is TRUE even when the property
contains string "false", as all strings are TRUE.

Durk Talsma: Added the detection of "circular" wait situations in the AI
ground network. A circular wait is a situation where aircraft a waits for
b; b waits for c; and c (in turn) waits for a. The checkCircularWaits
function detects these situations.
The current "solution" to a circular wait is rather crude: Remove the
aircraft from the scene. A proper solution needs a lot more work, however,
and at least this patch stops the AI system from clogging up. in case of a
circular wait.

--prop:sim/sceneryloaded-override=true has the effect that fgfs
doesn't show the splash screen until the scenery is loaded, but shows

useful for developers who often need to run fgfs only to check some minor
detail, while not caring about stuttering caused by scenery loading.

dialog.cxx: add warning message for broken <format>s; cosmetics
- props is easy to mix up with the --prop option (for setting properties)
- the name is unspecific and inconsistent: other option names describe
the protocol -- the way to get the properties. How is, for example,
--httpd less about prop(ertie)s?
- two identical options easily confuse people, as can be seen in The
FlightGear Manual, where --telnet and --props were described differently
/sim/view[*] that it finds. It's not only unnecessary that view definitions

- replace the string operations for property paths by method calls & other

because nasal's f_interpolate() may be called in Nasal at times when the
GENERAL subsystem group is being deconstructed; access it by addressing
the group directly, as using globals->get_subsystem() does then not
work any more then; yeah, it's all for a rare border case ... :-)
NasalSys.cxx more robust instead. The reason for the crash was that during
fgfs shutdown destroyed subsystems (GENERAL group) still need Nasal access
(for AI Model destruction listeners), but at that point globals->get_subsystem()
can't even deliver the "nasal" subsystem (INIT group). One way to solve that
problem would have been to replace globals->get_subsystem("nasal") by
globals->get_subsystem_mgr()->get_group(SGSubsystemMgr::INIT)->get_subsystem("nasal"),
but Andy decided to store a pointer to the active "nasal" subsysten in
NasalSys.cxx instead, as the "nasal" subsystem needs to be accessed in
every single Nasal extension function, and multiple "nasal" subsystems are
out of the question, anyway.
we need to explicitly destroy that here, too, so that it has guaranteed
access to the Nasal subsystem. Otherwise we get a segfault on exit. When
the next subsystem needs this special treatement (radar?), we should
introduce a new subsystem group (in addition to INIT and GENERAL)
"FATAL: PUI: No Live Interface! Forgot to call puInit ?"

getAttribute("archive") returns 1 if the attribute is set, and 0 otherwise.
Allow to query and to set all properties by not specifying an attribute
string: getAttribute() returns all attributes bit coded in an integer,
and setAttribute(attr) sets all attributes. No assumptions may be made
about the meaning of the bits -- they can be changed in future fgfs releases.
The only valid use is to compare or set attribute numbers obtained in the
same fgfs run. This is meant for allowing full copies of property branches.
Also add getAttribute query strings "children" for the number of children,
and "alias".
