+       * objects/standard/outline.c : avoid drawing invalid number of bezier
+       points (and thus crashing)
+
+       [
+         Much decreased start-up time and memory usage by delay loading
+         custom shapes. Closing bug #
+       ]
+       * objects/custom/shape_typeinfo.c : (new file) extracting the type
+       information of the custom shape by reading the first 512 bytes
+       using libxml SAX. Instead of DOM it does not load the whole file
+       into memory.
+       * objects/custom/custom.c : implement and use custom_object_preload()
+       based on the above. Use it in load_shape_from_tree() - the routine
+       scanning all shapes at start-up
+       * objects/custom/shape_info.[ch] : adapt infrastructure to to the
+       complete loading of the shape file on demand
+       [
+         there were 5 - out of ~700 shapes - which failed the size assumption
+         (reading only the first 512 bytes of the shape). They are modified
+         instead of making the (pre-)loading of all shapes slower.
+       ]
+       * shapes/Map/Isometric/Car1.shape shapes/Map/Isometric/Car2.shape
+         shapes/Misc/expended-node.shape shapes/Misc/expensible-node.shape
+         shapes/Map/Isometric/RedCar.shape : moved <name/> and <icon/> tag
+       early in the file to silence preload

        * objects/standard/outline.c(outline_draw) : first the whole text
