[mkgmap-dev] only old version of mkgmap on download page

Hi Felix

I have now narrowed down the problem to 2335, which is confusingly the
first change *after* the last one that directly touched the MDR index
code.

There is a very obvious problem in that the sections MDR 20, 22
are a fraction of the size that they should be.
It might be that I don't know how to use the --bounds option
which changed at that point.
The problem is in the tiles which have far fewer streets
with cities allocated to them. It has nothing to do with
index creation itself.

This problem appears in both the MapSource generated gmapsupp and the
mkgmap gmapsupp. I did see a mapsource/mkgmap difference in November
when I didn't even get the menu option to enter an address, it may
not be related.

I was hit by a problem where the GPS appears to cache something which
I think I've come across before but can't remember the details. I
ended up recreating the map before transferring it to the device.
