[mkgmap-dev] Request to rollback at least rev 2747 - or give the access part a complete rework, as of right now it's broken...

no sorry, but that change would really mean to loose functionality and 
ease of use...
Basically I see no way to change my lines styles without spending at 
least a week trying to work around not being able to set and delete 
mkgmap:access anymore...

The main problem is, that layout (type) and routing is not independent - 
hence my lines style-file, but also others, got very complicated. If the 
restrictions would be handled by a completly independant style-file, the 
road_class/road_speed by one, and the layout by one, it would be easy 
and straightforward to change such things. Sadly by the way garmin maps 
work, this cannot be done, hence my lines file is now about 8000 lines 
long, and loosing mkgmap functionality is really bad....
