Latest osmeditor2 update now in Subversion.

I have started to make some usability enhancements. In particular there is a 
new "Build way" mode (the default mode) which allows you to build a way just 
by clicking on a series of points making up the way (these can include 
existing nodes). Having built the way you then select "Upload way", specify 
its details, and it gets added to OSM.

"Split segment" mode no longer requires you to select a segment. You can just 
click on the point you want to split the segment at, and it will be done.

There is also a somewhat improved search facility making use of Mikel's 
geocoder (brainoff.com). Note that only a few countries are supported at the 
moment.

Would welcome other usability suggestions aimed at OSM newcomers (thanks 
Oliver)
