These patches allow you to level and clear land diagonally instead of orthogonally by holding the CTRL key while dragging. This is very useful when laying stretches of diagonal railway track. Without this patch it takes ages because you have to lower/raise/clear every affected tile seperately.

One version is implemented using C++ style iterators, one using Java style iterators (which I'd prefer, due to their elegance). As a side effect it also introduces an iteretor to cycle over tiles in an orthogonal fashion which can be used instead of the tile loop macros in less performance critical places.

The tile looping could also be achieved with a bazillion different iterator styles or with macros and if I knew the developers' particular (and hopefully collective) taste in this matter I'd implement it.
