[Imports] NYC building + address import - to merge or not to merge?

My code is kind of a mess, but it's at
https://github.com/ericfischer/osm-snap/tree/buildings. It takes an OSM
extract (or whole planet if you want to spend hours churning through it) in
XML format and extracts building polygons and address nodes out of it. Then
a second stage tries to find out if any of the nodes are inside any of the
polygons.
