Support for BFME Object.EquivalentTo token

[commy2]

Double-click for mulit select does not work in case the player controlls units from multiple sub-factions. E.g. Airforce General Rangers and vUSA Rangers are different units.

Similarly, Terrorists have NOT_SIMILAR flag as RadiusDamageEffects, so blowing them up doesn't hurt other Terrorists. But this does not work for cross-faction Terrorists, because they are different units too.

BFME handles both of these with the EquivalentTo token. Example:

Object RohanEntFir
  ...
  EquivalentTo = RohanGenericEnt

Now double-click select will select any Ent.

That sounds incredibly useful, although I would (eventually) want to go a step further: to be able to have objects that are based on other objects and you only need to set whichever stats actually need to be different (e.g. the prerequisites, the commandset used, only one of multiple weapons etc.). This would be like the existing ObjectReskin functionality except not restricted to only draw modules and geometry settings (IIRC using ObjectReskin is currently the only way to make it so similar objects are affected by double-click multi-select - see the Technical variations, for example).
