If this is important to you, I can quick release a version of shp-to-osm
that does connect ways.

I have code in the repository now for what I called "glomming". It hasn't
shown up in shp-to-osm yet because I don't read the entire data file in to
memory before writing it out (so I can read arbitrarily-large shapefiles).
In order to do this, I would have to read the entire shapefile in to memory,
leading to a restriction on the size of shapefile to convert.
