[mkgmap-dev] Adaptions in style (needed to make good use of) for overview2 branch

Typical, the place-node of a capital should be a admin_center-member of 
the administrative-relation. And you can let mkgmap set a tag to the 
node. But I haven't checked the admin_level=2-boundaries if they all 
have a admin_center.
