0009738: Stone axes are unusable for woodcutting in Fortress Mode

Notes

The material for sharpened rock does not use any rock in particular, so I assume it uses the template rock values, hence, it's not eligible for woodcutting. EDIT: Nope, that's not that. Any edged weapon with the AXE skill can be used for woodcutting. However, the adventurer's stone axe is not a weapon - it's a tool, and tools have no use in Fortress Mode for now.

I'm tempted to drop a workaround into Adventurecraft making axes count as weapons rather than tools, but I don't want this to cause the civs I give them to to start carrying them into battle.
