Would it be possible to add New Caledonia in .pbf to
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/australia-oceania/

I was used to to get the data using
wget -O ncxapi.osm "http://xapi.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=163.5,-23.0,168.5,-19.5"
in order to compile the Garmin Map for New Caledonia
www.oesterlin.ile.nc/gps    but the xapi is not reliable enough since
some time. The MapQuest xapi supports not an as large area, even if
there is not (yet ?) so much data there.
