[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v2] Move maxspeed calculations to style file

Yes, I think other guys have explained. With the patch you can write 
your own speed rules. If don't consider maxspeed in your style the 
maxspeed tag is not taken into account.
At the moment the default style uses an include file with the old 
hardcoded rules.

Mmh, my mailtool identifies the patches correctly. I think the 
webinterface changes the MIME-type (?).
Anyhow I do not post any patches for this case any more because all 
changes are directly commited to the branch now.
