[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] 3395 called "broken", but why? (#64)

[Frederik Ramm]

Special case for 3395 is -M/--oldmerc. Should be dropped IMHO. 3395 is of course a perfectly valid projection, it is only "broken" in the sense that a very long time ago we used 3395 for our database imports and then ran into problems when using that for tile rendering - a correctly configured rendering system would have to re-project 3395 to 3857 (then 900913) to make tiles, and an incorrectly configured one would try without that and hence be "broken".
