I tested this patch today, and it worked as advertised. Thanks for your 
work.

I have a suggestion.

Would it be better to use
<tag k="mkgmap:gtype" v="0x06,21,,1,2"/>
instead of
<tag k="mkgmap:gtype=0x06,21,,1,2"/>

I know nothing about osm format, other that what I observed, but the 
latter syntax looks the more obvious to me. If you try this (as I did 
until in my first try), you will get a NullPointerException.

I think the long format , with seperate tags, is redundant. It's most 
likely that people using this syntax will be using a preprocessor of 
some kind, and I doubt if many preprocessors were written between 
version 1 and version 2 of your patch.

Thanks

Garvan
