take a straight way between two nodes, if there's a complex intersection
(simple road cross shouldn't matter if the road goes straight on, but a
roundabout should) warn the user with an error-box.

this tool would mainly be useful if you're way'ing a lot of 2-10 segment
streets that do fit in one applet-shot - and doing a highway in 3x less
segment-clicks (because you can add segment-sets) is always a time-gain!
