Works very well already, good work!

One minor issue:

The logic does not differentiate between real exits and motorway
junctions. So, on motorway junctions the exit hint overrides
the (maybe more useful) destination-hint.

Idea : store the destination road type (the first highway following
the _link ways) to a tag like
mkgmap:exit_hint_dest_hw = motorway / trunk / primary / etc.

Then in the style one could filter out the motorway junctions
and give the exit hint only for real exists.
