I hope someone will fix that. I have no time to implement that, so I 
appeal to anyone to post such a patch.

> And my second question: Will be the locator-option fully integrated into mkgmap permanently or not. Actually it's the only way to make street-searchable maps for Germany (with the normal version you only can find the streets in the suburb of a city).

Before merging the locator branch to trunk some things should/must be fixed:
* Performance
* The splitter problem *must* be fixed otherwise we'll get tons of 
complaints and error reports that will eat up lots of our development 
resources.
* Maybe it should be possible to turn off the new locator mechanism? At 
least it should not run when the index option is not set.
