[mkgmap-dev] can't make routing work any more

I guess that makes sense, since the program will also merge multiple img files into a gmapsupp.img file.

Putting the input file last did indeed fix it.  Thanks.

 Hi Rob,

 order of options is important. Move the parameter
 --input-fie to the end of the list.

 remember.  It is possible that I used .osm.bz2 XML file
 instead of the .osm.pbf file but I don't remember for
 sure.

 options no longer seem to work.  I've tried r2957 and
 r2998 with equally dismal results.
