I think you forgot to mention another thing. Line position isn't saved and
you have to reorder them after each load. I allready tried to improve the
code, but I think it is impossible. Because at the moment the line decides
where it connects to an object and not the object decides where the lines
are connected. So the whole thing is done in the wrong direction.

So I really see the need for a massive improvement of the line handling code
as well, but at the moment I don't know how to do it without breaking much
of the code.
