[mkgmap-dev] splitter improvements

Hi Gerd,

this is the way i create the germany + 50km + iceland .osm.pbf-file:

First step is download from geofabrik (only about once a month):

..\bin\wget --no-cache http://download.geofabrik.de/openstreetmap/europe.osm.pbf

Then i cut the interesting area(s), i'll attach the corresponding .poly-file:

..\osmconvert europe.osm.pbf -B=..\germany+iceland.poly
-o=germany+iceland.osm.pbf

I do this process only once a month. Normally i update the
germany+iceland.osm.pbf on daily basis with the following command:

osmupdate --daily
--planet-url=http://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/
OSM-Data\germany+iceland.osm.pbf OSM-Data\germany+iceland-new.osm.pbf
-B=germany+iceland.poly -v

This file was fed to splitter on a 32(!)Bit-machine with Xmx1376m
without problems.

Regards, Uli
