Right, that would be my intention. Split the default style and other 
built-in styles into modules that the default style would include from 
library files.

I think that a relative pathname would be enough, similar to how 
#include works in the C preprocessor. The default include file path 
would include the mkgmap library. The library fragments would remain 
fairly stable. New stuff would be added to new files, not breaking 
backward compatibility.

This might still be useful to combine with the base-style mechanism.
