As this themes are discussed now at the mailing list, I have another 
suggestion with the options.

I would like the options beeing embedded in the options file in the 
styles. There they belongs to. Then it would be possible to set e.g. the 
dpfilter settings and the min polygon size for a cycle map to other 
values than for a street map. In the default style could reasonable 
default settings be set.
