I put my foot where my mouth is and implemented this in the OSM parser:
if either endpoint of a oneway carries a FIXME or fixme attribute,
mkgmap:dead-end-check=false will be added to the way.  It is left as an
exercise for the reader to port the patch to the MP parser. :-)

I tested the patch with --report-dead-ends 1 and 2 and got zero or
several oneway warnings, depending on whether FIXME was set on the
way endpoints.

Best regards,

	Marko
