[mkgmap-dev] Diagnostic warnings for dead-end oneway highway=service

Hi Gerd,

I do not want to suppress dead-end-checks altogether. I do it on a 
case-by-case basis, either by adding fixme=continue to the endpoint 
(this will set mkgmap:dead-end-check=false on the way; I wrote the code 
to do that), or by filtering out messages.

Here is a slightly different example:

... Motorway exit 67 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.47712&mlon=26.27170&zoom=17) has 
no motorway!

This is for node 1909615887. The message fails to mention the tags of 
the attached way 181498435 (highway=construction, construction=motorway, 
...).

I have a file that I pass to "grep -vf" for suppressing known warnings.  
I would not want to add a suppression for this message as it is now, 
because it would remain suppressed after the construction is completed 
and the way gets tagged highway=motorway. If my suppression regexp were 
something like

Motorway exit 67 .*mlat=60\.47712&mlon=26\.27170.*highway=construction

then it would no longer suppress the warning if the way is changed to 
highway=motorway and some map editor breaks something. (Even better than 
coordinates would be the ID of the highway=motorway_exit node.)
