Feature: Add options for GDirections to avoid highways and shortest/fastest
route

Comments: Like on maps.google.com the option to avoid highways should be
added to the API too. Also the choice to calculate the fastest route
instead of the shortest route would be nice.

Hi

This will be of great help for me because I use GDirections(); for creating bicycle 
routes on www.bikelog.dk

please notify me

My site needs to calculate back-roads routes for tourists and vacationers, so highway
routes are of no use to us. Google, please implement this soon. Thank you.

avoidHighways was released. If the "fastest route" is still of interest to people 
here, please file a separate request.
