I'm somewhat confused by the above two paragraphs, they seem to contradict
each other.  Is it the case that:

1. Your not going to import the road layer from canvec.  In this case it 
doesn't matter if you import the canvec data before or after the geobase 
roads are imported.   Campgrounds, power lines, buildings etc... won't 
conflict with roads (I won't exclude roads based on a power line running 
next to it).

2. Your going to import the canvec roads, if so then any roads you import 
before I run roadmatcher should just result in that road being excluded from 
the geobase import (it will be treated just like any other OSM road).  If I 
do the geobase import first then you'll need to find a way to detect 
conflicts.

Which one is it?
