Hmm, hadn't thought of doing it that way: convert to way, then trim. I do
have JOSM installed, but much prefer the Potlatch interface. JOSM also seems
to be very slow when you have a largeish area loaded.

Anyway, Prune looks like it will do the job.

Aun: Bash scripting is really not my thing. I guess it's personal, but it's
just not the way I like to solve problems. I'll leave it at that to avoid a
flamewar. :)
