[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v2] finalizer style file

Fri Nov 1 19:30:44 GMT 2013

The finalizer rules are now defined in each style file.

The rules start after the finalize section marker:
<finalize>

@Steve: Please have a look on the patch. I think it is cleanly 
integrated in the current implementation without too much hacking ;-) I 
haven't implemented tests yet so it's not well tested. But my first 
tests seemed to work well.
