/**
 * @file settings.cpp
 * All actions handling saving and loading of the settings/configuration goes on in this file.
 * The file consists of three parts:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Parsing the configuration file (openttd.cfg). This is achieved with the ini_ functions which
 *     handle various types, such as normal 'key = value' pairs, lists and value combinations of
 *     lists, strings, integers, 'bit'-masks and element selections.
 * <li>Handle reading and writing to the setting-structures from inside the game either from
 *     the console for example or through the gui with CMD_ functions.
 * <li>Handle saving/loading of the PATS chunk inside the savegame.
 * </ol>
 * @see SettingDesc
