What about the possibility of doing it "right"?

- The EC is 1 for roads, 0 (or NULL callback) for everything else.  PF 
is given an option to consider EC _before_ MC.

- The move_cost is a normal move cost.

- A new callback is added that tells how many extra turns must be spent 
at each tile (or for each move, maybe).  PF integrates this value in 
with the move_cost.

We can then not only calculate the exact "best" path but we will know 
how long it will take (which can be shown to the user).
