In order to make this a little bit easier, I've published a job on elance
to convert the shp files to kml, osm. This should allow various folks from
around here to load in data via JOSM. That'll let us check data as well
prior to loading.
Assuming someone picks it up; I'll publish the resutls, conversion scripts
on github.
