> * ; INSERT_DEFINES_HERE should be near the beginning of the file, mkgmap

> * ; INSERT_ADDED_FILES_HERE mkgmap will generated the list of files to
> be packaged in the installer
> * ; INSERT_REGBIN_HERE mkgmap will add a line for the family_id registry
> key. This is binary and cannot be taken care of in the defines
> unfortunately
> * ; INSERT_REMOVED_FILES_HERE mkgmap will generated the list of files to

> * license_template.txt this file will be displayed by the installer in
> the license page
>
> the default files are provided in the examples directory of the mkgmap
