Hi

Btw.: If it's necessary to set --drive-on-left to get everything you
need for such a map, then we can remove also the automatism, because
everyone will set the param ;)

I'm in favour of removing the guessing. In addition to the problem that
it might be wrong because of bad data or two countries in the same tile
(the UK/France is particularly likely), the code is not thread safe and
so could cause extra tiles to have the wrong flag when used with --max-jobs.

I realise that it probably works 99 times out of a 100 or even more, but
when it does fail there is no possible warning or clue as to what
might have happened.

Hi Steve,

attached patch forwards the "guessed" drive-on-left value in a thread safe way to the NOD header by using a ThreadLocal variable. This is a small code change.
Anyhow this makes only sense if you think that the guess algorithm is ok.
