[mkgmap-dev] Is height: filter working as described?

I am not sure how far mkgmap should exceed its original scope and become
a QA tool... But maybe an option to configure the output format of the
height and conv functions (w.r.t. decimal separator, thousands
separator, number of digits etc) might be useful? Perhaps the program
could take (some of) the settings from the user's current locale.
