That is not enough. The above does create the columns in the shape, but 
you will also have to fill them! Check the process_osm_way definition in 
the same file, and add something like (pseudocode)

if (way has route tag)
{
    extract route_duration;
    add row to "roads" shape with route and duration
}

Also make sure that you find the place where it adds roads to the shape, 
and provide empty values for the last two columns there.

Since this is pure C code, you can easily write code that extracts 
"duration" and "route_duration" and writes to the shape whatever has a 
value.

Note that osm2shp doesn't support relations; if you need to evaluate 
route relations (as opposed to just route=ferry tags), you will have to 
enhance osm2shp or choose another tool entirely.
