[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap gets stuck on Kosovo - is related to "-c template.args"

Felix,

The problem is triggered by the fact that in your style file you give
anonymous roads of the same type, the same name i.e. 'rd', 'trk',
'ucl', etc. So the map ends up containing lot's of roads with the same
names. The kosovo map contains a huge number of anonymous roads.

The code that is getting stuck is trying to find all of the roads that
have the same name and are associated with the same city and are
connected to each other.

Perhaps, and this is a guess, the autofill=2 option increases the
number of roads that have the same city such that it becomes
computationally, very expensive to work out which roads are connected
to each other. It may well finish if you wait long enough!
