[mkgmap-dev] aeroway in default style

Hi Gerd,

I can't see any easy way to make runway visible over a road, without 
using a TYP.

I treat default style as some kind of reference. An attempt to solve 
this problem would result in cluttering of the style or use of 
non-standard objects. Both approach would destroy educational values of 
style and probably results would be rather mediocre. So I prefer to 
ignore runway.

W can create additional POI for this kind of runway, but I think mappers 
add a POI anyway, so this could be superfluous.

Just a thought: if we get a function like line-to-area, then w could 
draw a runway below road as an area. I imagine rule like this:

aeroway=runway & highway=* & is_closed()!=true { create_area(20m); }

This should result in a new polygon created as a strip with 20m width, 
which then would be processed according to rules in polygon file.
