[iRail] iRail API - Actionscript 3 wrapper

Sat Aug 7 11:53:11 UTC 2010

Ok. Fixed and implemented.

I've added an option to the API &trainsonly
if 1, it will only return trains, if 0 it will also return buses and
such. Default is 0.

Commit:
http://github.com/Tuinslak/iRail/commit/cde5e533c4ab22b91e34f2852d2809b26d2899fc

The commit will be pushed to api.irail.be on Monday
It will be pushed to dev.irail.be/api tonight (I think)

Thanks Christophe for your investigation on the product values. (It
helped ;-) )
