The runway database has the numbers in it, so we can do all the red/white
signs and surface hold short markings automatically for all taxiways.
In principle anyway, I'm ignoring the fact that signs are in one file
and the taxiways are done as triangles in the airport insert file.

I don't recall whether the taxiways are named in the taxiway file ?
If not, is there even a field were we can optionally add the names ?
Because, generating the yellow/black signs is relatively easy if the
taxiway database has the names in, and adding the names to an existing
database of taxiways is a lot quicker than drawing them in the first place.
