[mkgmap-dev] Style include files

Fri Aug 31 21:00:51 BST 2012

yeah, it would really be helpful, to write all the address stuff into 
one file, and then just include it.
Also I share my points and polygons file for two line files, sometimes 
it would be handy to have little changes in the polygons/points file, 
but I don't want to have the effort to always update changes to a second 
file, inlcuding stuff from outside easily, makes maintaining the style 
files easier.
