Ok, patch commited. Seems to work, but I am not really sure that I
like that behaviour completly. Its ok for and bridge that is already
half build, but I would probally like to keep a way to add a final
last brick to the bridge so that pingus can no longer pass that way. I
mean add a special case handling for the placement of the first brick.
So two bridges could actually work as a blocker.

              <- here bridger stops, path is still walkable

Another bridger is started at the top of the bridge and places a last
brick:

############
        __      <- patch would now be blocked due to head_collision
    __--
__--
##########

Just and idea, not sure if it would work out.
