Aye.  Part of my problem is that I haven't been able to build osm2pgsql
under Cygwin/Vista64, and thus can't add the above patch.  Vista64 is the
only environment I currently possess to run this under; hopefully within
a few weeks I can build a Linux server with adequate storage and CPU.

I have also considered using a combination of the two toolsets.
