There is already a branch of the splitter which is able to read the pbf 
format (branches/crosby_integration). I build and successfully tested it 
last week with the europe extract from Geofabrik. It is much faster than 
using the bz2 file, time went down from ~5 hours + time for extraction 
of the bz2 file to less than 4 hours.

I hope there is soon an "official" build of the splitter with pbf 
support. Perhaps it was not merged because of additional dependencies.
