I have to take this back: now that I have tested the patch, I see that
it does exactly what I would like.

The patch is great: thanks!

I would only suggest that you perhaps change the wording in the help
options file, so it is clear what the --add-pois-to-areas option does.
Something like the following might help:

--add-pois-to-areas
Generate a POI for each area. The POIs inherit the tags of the area
polygon, and are resolved according to the rules in the points style
file.

The original phrase "only for polygon types that have a reasonable
point equivalent." confused me at first, as I thought that the POIs
would be restricted to a predefined list.

Cheers!
