I just committed some changes. Among other things, one can now also
open the tutorial marker adjustment dialog by typing tutorial.dialog()
in the Help->Nasal-Console, so people don't have to bother defining
key bindings. It's not such an often used feature.

Yes, I thought of that, too. Missions where the copilot directs one
to the car accident etc. ("Follow the street ... Ten miles ... Ohh ...
that doesn't look good ..." :-)

Should be easy. The Nasal code for that is already in ufo.nas. Just
need to factor that out in a separate library.

That's already possible. I implemented that for the ufo scenery object
editor. And the bo105 placed "Memorial Cows" at crash locations, but
this service wasn't well received ... ;-) Just need to add a small
function.

Well, properties are really the only way to communicate with animations,
and that's not a bad thing. You can now embed Nasal in tutorials, so
there's nothing stopping you from launching an "interpolate()" etc.

There were no changes in C++. You just need to update data/cvs (which
works for both branches -- with the sad exception of some traffic
stuff, which we should really migrate. There's really no point in
having two branches with this being the only difference.
