Progress report.
Made a console version which reads from stdin and writes to stdout. As I have no program which would grab that output it was displayed in the console window. As I had no program also which would read the source and write it to stdout where I could read it from stdin I tested by reading from the file self.

Where my not console version takes ten minutes for 500MB the console needed an hour. But I think this is because cmd.exe displays it all in its console window.

What is your build time and how much would you give me?

Ah, I see that you are developing under Windows... I hope you are writing portable code, because my map toolchain is running entirely under Linux....

I know from experience that displaying a lot of stuff takes a lot of extra time, so your 10 minutes-1 hour difference might have been caused by that. Don't worrry about that too much then. Stdin and Stdout are filepointers just like a regular file under Linux.

One, two, three hours extra for processing all of Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania is not a problem for weekly updates.
