[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap ignores --country-abbr?

Hi WanMil,

In the Geofabrik finland.osm.pbf there are a few Russian place=*. Some 
of these carry addr:country=RUS.

I am invoking mkgmap (among others) with the following options:

--country-abbr=FIN --country-name=Finland --location-autofill=nearest

I am not using any bounds information. You can see the full invocation 
in http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/files/osm2img.sh

In the tile for southeast Finland (63240007.osm.pbf), many if not all 
places are now displaying as RUS instead of FIN. I added addr:country=FI 
to Rääkkylä, and it now correctly shows FIN. Before that change, all 
place=* in that tile had either no addr:country or had addr:country=RU.

Is it so that --location-autofill=nearest somehow overrides 
--country-abbr and --country-name? I would expect all place=* that lack 
addr:country to get an implicit addr:country=FI when I specify 
--country-abbr=FIN. In that way, the worst thing that would happen is 
that my map of Finland would have some Russian places (which are located 
very close to the border and are lacking addr:country=RU) incorrectly 
displaying as FIN instead of RUS.

Best regards,

	Marko
