Hi Felix,

I am not suggesting that we drop the ability to specify the min arc
length but I do think it's reasonable for it to default to zero rather
than some length like 3 or 5 (at least until we really understand
what's going on).

I propose:

If --route is specified but --remove-short-arcs is not, we enable the
short arc removal for zero length arcs.

If --remove-short-arcs=num is specified then we remove arcs <= num.

If --remove-short-arcs=no is specified, we don't do any short arc
removal even if --route is specified.

How's that sound?

Cheers,

Mark
