Actually, there are two comments

    /* XXX maybe we should have startup_new_fractional? */

in the patch I posted - I completely forgot about that. But I think
that's a typo, I think - it should be

    /* XXX maybe we should have startup_neq_fractional? */

and the new flag would work similarly to startup_neq_total, i.e. it's
pointless to add paths where startup == fractional cost.

At least I think that was the idea when I wrote the patch, it way too
long ago.
