>> The patch realizes the reimplementation of the add-pois-to-areas option

>> Some notes:
>> * Each POI created by the new Area2POIHook is tagged with
>> mkgmap:area2poi=true
>> * For each multipolygon one POI is created at the center of the largest
>> polygon (largest = biggest covered area; size of inner polygons is
>> subtracted). This means that the POI may be located outside the
>> multipolygon area.
>> * The old implementation contained some additional rules which have not
>> been implemented in the new implementation. I wonder if they are really
>> required:
>> 1. Skip road name POIs
>> =>  Probably you don't have a rule for that in your points file
>> 2. Skip cities without name
>> =>  I don't know. Maybe that check is relevant.
>> 3. Skip areas which contains a POI with the same name
>> =>  If you follow the rule "don't tag for renders" there should be an
>> area OR a POI but not both.
>>
>> The patch is tested a little but if you are interested in you can help
>> me by sending your opinion if it's a good replacement for the old
>> implementation or what can be improved.
>>
>> Have fun!
