 From reading posts on the list, I am not convinced everything is  
known about what the minimum length should be. If your patch still  
allows for users to test and experiment with different min lengths  
then I would commit it. I use a length greater than 5m, but I edit the  
map data by hand. I must test to see how my hand edits differ from the  
automatic adjustments.

I did not try this patch, but from others reports it sounds good.

I tested this and it worked nicely. Its useful for me when converting  
from mp to osm format. I would commit it.
