Traveling Salesman/LibOSM contains an osmosis-plugin
to add certain map-formats and it already contains
a WayHelper.simplifyWay -operation.
Someone could write the required glue-logic
to expose this operation as a task for osmosis.

(I'm very, very busy at the moment but I can give the
right pointers and answer questions.)
