[mkgmap-dev] default style improvements

Hi Ticker,

I guess variables like mkgmap:us_interstate come from my style. I use 
them for shields with road reference numbers. There are dedicated 
shields for US maps and standard shields for other countries. These 
variables allows to create single style for both cases.

This is an example from my style, file "lines":
# Set highway names to include the reference if there is one
highway=motorway                    & mkgmap:us_interstate=*    {name 
'${mkgmap:us_interstate|highway-symbol:interstate:12}'; addlabel 
'${name|not-equal:ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=motorway & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:us_usroute=*       {name 
'${mkgmap:us_usroute|highway-symbol:shield:12}'; addlabel 
'${name|not-equal:ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=motorway & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:us_state=*         {name 
'${mkgmap:us_state|highway-symbol:round:12}'; addlabel 
'${name|not-equal:ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=motorway & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:admin_level2=USA   {name 
'${name}' | '${ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes} #disable box

highway=motorway & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:admin_level2!=USA  {name 
'${ref|highway-symbol:hbox:12}'; addlabel '${name|not-equal:ref}'; set 
mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=trunk    & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:admin_level2!=USA  {name 
'${ref|highway-symbol:hbox:12}'; addlabel '${name|not-equal:ref}'; set 
mkgmap:refnam=yes}

highway=* & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:us_interstate=*    {name 
'${mkgmap:us_interstate|highway-symbol:interstate:12}'; addlabel 
'${name|not-equal:ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=* & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:us_usroute=*       {name 
'${mkgmap:us_usroute|highway-symbol:shield:12}'; addlabel 
'${name|not-equal:ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=* & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:us_state=*         {name 
'${mkgmap:us_state|highway-symbol:round:12}'; addlabel 
'${name|not-equal:ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=* & mkgmap:refnam!=* & mkgmap:admin_level2=USA   {name '${name}' 
| '${ref}'; set mkgmap:refnam=yes}   #disable box

highway=primary   & mkgmap:refnam!=* & (name=* | ref=*)  {name 
'${name|not-equal:ref}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:box:12}'; set 
mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=secondary & mkgmap:refnam!=* & (name=* | ref=*)  {name 
'${name|not-equal:ref}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:oval:12}'; set 
mkgmap:refnam=yes}
highway=*         & mkgmap:refnam!=*                     {name '${name}' 
| '${ref}'}
