It was never used by anything, so I removed it a few weeks ago. (I was
thinking we should rather combine preprocessors rather than have yet one
more perl script going through the whole data once more). Should still
be in the attic as mercatorize.pl or similar :-).
Etienne said, he tried projection with XSLT osma and down to z8 it
didn't make a difference. Mmmh, don't know... All I can say is that
between z11 and z12 labels are in different places as it seems, and the
lower the zoom the farther they get pushed away from the equator.
