Could you or someone try to modify this patch so that it compiles 
against mkgmap 1140.

I tried merging it for more than 1 hour today but did not get any clean 
compile. There are nearly 10 conflicts against the new extended types 
code. Both, the extended types and the "continue" behaviour are very 
important features for me.....

I would really miss the above patch if it is not implementable to 
current svn.

thanks very much in advance if someone could try to change it to get it 
working... I attach the patch as prepared by Thilo again so searching 
for old e-mails is not needed....
