It is already implemented in the BoundaryPreparer when you execute its main(). 
Also, I'll keep the code that writes the old format, because it is used before preparer starts.
I just drop analysing the mkgmap:lies_in tags.

Today I've written the code to read & write the new format and to recombine the boundaries.
There are two open problems: 
a) Some boundaries with equal admin levels intersect, and 
BoundaryQuadtree.merge()   removes the intersection from one of the both.
This can cause different results compared to trunk because the LocationHook in trunk can sort 
them in different order. I think one cannot expect correct results for this case, but it makes 
testing difficult.

b) The recombined boundaries have a few small holes, probably again the rounding error. 
I'll check this tomorrow.

ciao,
Gerd
