[Routing] Routing algorithms

[Artem Pavlenko]

Hi Alex,

Sounds good. I'm too implemented routing over OSM data using  
boost::graph and gigabase as a storage.
While standard graph algorithms work well for small graphs, for  
larger ones some extra steps can be useful.
I wonder if you know/interested in implemented HH approach - http:// 
algo2.iti.uka.de/schultes/hwy/ which would allow for efficient route  
planning over OSM data (will be very large one day!)

Regards
Artem
