[OSM-dev] Improved osm2shp

[Stephan Plepelits]

Hi!

I'm writing a tutorial for a class how to convert osm-files to shapefiles.

osm2shp from Geofabrik does a pretty good job, but it's hard to change the
layout of the shapefiles. As the target audience are no computer scientists
and don't know C, I wrote a preprocessor for osm2shp which takes a simple
config file. You have to recompile osm2shp if you change that file.
The default config is similar to the original osm2shp.

Maybe somebody might need this too ...

greetings,
        Stephan
