If you are going to write new route planner, would you please write a
parametric interface for it? It would be usefule for other things.
What I mean is that you could supply an evaluation function to the
do_goto() function. This function would be called to evaluate the
road "weight", "length", "value" or how do you call it.

This would enable to supply for example function, which will take care
of orthogonal routes (for mass irrigating) etc.

I'm not sure how this function should be called - maybe for each tile 
neighbour to tile already processed - and returning the value of going
from the last tile to this tile.
