[mkgmap-dev] Splitter resolution and mapsource mouseover behaviour

Here's the start of the thread that led to the addition of the --resolution 
parameter:

But basically yes you're right, --resolution forces the tiles to be rounded 
to particular boundaries. If you manually adjust the boundaries, you still 
need to make sure they're aligned/rounded correctly.
