"""
Script to scan the OpenTTD source-tree for STR_ entries that are defined but
no longer used.

This is not completely trivial, as OpenTTD references a lot of strings in
relation to another string. The most obvious example of this is a list. OpenTTD
only references the first entry in the list, and does "+ <var>" to get to the
correct string.

There are other ways OpenTTD does use relative values. This script tries to
account for all of them, to give the best approximation we have for "this
string is unused".
