If writing the value is only required when exiting fgfs, then
autosave.xml would be good enough. It would only miss flying
hours that ended with a segfault, which shouldn't really happen
anyway. ;-)
Otherwise extra files would be needed. I could implement either,
now that prop.setAttribute("USERARCHIVE", 1) is available.
