we might open a Pandora's box...

Interleaved reading for OSM input has been added to v.in.ogr in trunk
r71464.

OSM import remains challenging. For v.in.ogr you need define a custom
OSM_CONFIG_FILE because the default osmconf.ini file will add all tags not
defined with attributes into "other_tags", potentially causing buffer
overflow. OSM polygons are overlapping which is correct because e.g.
administrative boundaries for multiple administrative levels are imported.
