[Tagging] (Mini)Roundabout: examples

[Colin Smale]

It would be nice if these "rond-points" would be explicitly tagged (e.g. 
junction=rond_point???) so mkgmap can still easily be taught to 
recognise it and treat it as a roundabout even if it doesn't comply with 
the OSM semantics for one. Otherwise your satnav will tell you to turn 
right at the junction, even if you want to turn left {driving on the 
right}.  I am concerned here about usability of the data, particularly 
for routing.
