I think that this should be done in the (default) style file, not in the 
mkgmap core. We already have a regexp matching operator, and if I 
remember correctly, we should also have regexp replace in the action 
rules.

But, I would wait a bit until Steve has overhauled the include mechanism 
in the style file parser.

Hmm, parameterized style rules and actions? Sort of macro or template 
expansion in the style processor?
