[Imports] import from maplibrary.org

[Sam Vekemans]

Ok, sorry i lied.

I fixed up the page

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shp-to-osm.jar

It just needs to be better referenced on the shp2osm page
... as the gml files can also be used with the shp2osm program.
 So that needs to be explained too.
