Description
When making non-rectangular buildings I've found the building plugin combined with extrude mode very useful. It's a bit annoying to have to switch between draw mode and extrude mode so often though.
This patch extends extrude mode to add nodes by alt-clicking.
Example:
Here one need to change to draw mode, add the first node, press esc to avoid adding a way, add the next node, change back to extrude mode and make the extrusion
With this patch the same operation become (when in extrude mode): alt-click to add the nodes, make the extrusion.
Personally I'd prefer simply have a single click add a node, but this might be to radical?

Why not use the double click in the extrude mode? It is more consistent and I can use the 'ALT' for an append mode to add a new rectangle instead of changing the existing rectangle (http://www.mail-archive.com/talk-de@openstreetmap.org/msg81990.html). With the double click there is no need for a new pointer.

Here's my proposal. With the Alt modifier and a double click nodes can be added. Alt and mouse drag creates a new rectangle. This patch uses code from the first patch.

That's great! I got sick of drawing buildings, so my interest kinda subsided :)
I'd say:
- Node creation directly from the mode isn't actually that important/useful (You can hold shift in draw-mode to create single nodes too)
- The current patch for node creation doesn't handle multiple ways properly. (only one way get the new node)
- The "new rectangle" seems really useful
Given the above, I vote for including the new rectangle part and postpone/toss away the node part. (Until 2 get fixed at least. I will not do that myself).
If the node part end up being included I don't see why Alt should be required for the double click though?

the creat_new mode without the 'add node' code

Changed: double click is now effective without ALT modifier.
Could someone please update [Help/Action/Extrude]. The new stuff is missing and it seems also some older stuff.
As said, the node creation should affect all ways. This is an future improvement.
There should be a visual indication that "ALT" changes behaviour. Please add a different pointer in this case. Otherwise it is a good idea I think.
P.S. In "Add mode" you can double click to create a node. No need for ESC.
