[mkgmap-dev] bug in LineClipper (branches/nod)

Hi

I am just about to commit a merge the work from trunk into nod which I hope
doesn't confuse things too much.  Sorry if it does.

OK, I havn't looked at your patch fully yet, but I see a problem.
MapRoad is a sublass of MapLine, but if one is clipped, then it is copied
as if it were a MapLine.  Therefore it will not get a roadId or a roadDef
set.

Perhaps, but nothing should be clipped, should it?  There may be a bug
where more is being clipped than should be.  This was recently the case
with polygons and a similar bug caused all polygons to be invisible.
