Pak128.Britain 1.09 released!

Many thanks to prissi for compiling a release of pak128.Britain 1.09 to go with the new simutrans executable 111. As this is the first release in a year, there are quite a few fixes/changes from 1.08, too many for me to remember but I will try to summarise below:
– many more snow images
– planes
– basic narrow gauge
– more ships and trains
– more citybuildings and attractions
– some player colour stations
– player barriers
