[mkgmap-dev] add-poi-to-areas: What, if there is already a poi?

Hi!

I debugged the zoo in Munich: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.09736&lon=11.55587&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF
in its way there are two entrances tagged with tourism=zoo. These seem 
to prevent --add-poi-to-areas from creating a poi called "Tierpark 
Hellabrunn".
But when I search in my Garmin for the nearest zoo, I will now just find 
"Isareingang" and "Flamingoeingang" but not "Tierpark Hellabrunn". This 
is not so good for a tourist that knows just the name of the zoo.

I looked further for other POIs that where not created because there was 
already one and found e.g. this one:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.062073&lon=11.682696&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF
Here "Hallenbad Riemerling" is tagged twice: one time in the building, 
second time a separate POI.

Would something be against it, to create just no new POI if there is 
already a POI with this type AND with this name?
