I check if a geometry is closed, and generate polygon from it.

For example, if you try on a bus line, you will get the errors generated from
postgresql, with information on where the disconnection might be:

http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/?id=36052

NOTICE: missing connexion at point -0.1406638f 51.5131253f

This is done by plgsql function create_polygon() here:

Note that I think that it doesn't correctly handle inner members of relations.
