I did so by a different lua profile - weighting all segemnts the same
e.g. all with speed=100.

For my purpose i even eliminated traffic lights, turn costs, oneways
turn restrictions.

I simply wanted to have distance on tarmac - I am trying to calculate
telecoms cable length for xDSL service where the expected bandwidth
is proportional to length of the last mile copper wire.

Yep - The problem is that i found no documentation about the variables
the profile is able to set and what influence they have. I have asked at
least 2 times on this list and got no answer.

I have found that setting the speed to 0 will ignore the way. I have not
found out what "ignore_in_grid" is good for or "type".
