... because you essentially remove every detail that's less than 50
meters :-(

I just applied the patch. I'll send you a compiled mkgmap.jar per
separate e-mail (as sending 500K over the mailing list feels a bit rude).

Actually, if you have the machinery in place, applying the patch is

(Subversion, Java environment, patch, ant, ...) on a Windows machine is
probably not for the faint of heart.
