[OSM-dev] First version of long way splitter for gdalcontour output

[Nic Roets]

Ok Mike,

I've look at it. It's in an urban area so chances are that it will be
useful to someone.

But I'm still a bit worried that there is too much detail there,
considering what is being imported. One of those segments is shorter
than 4m. It's not like a building, where you know someone will be
happy if they see their house, or a road where it can influence
routing.

And you haven't documented your tag (at least not in the obvious place):

Regards,
Nic
