Any ideas out there? How can mkgmap detect that the user has to modify the style to get a usable result?

The version number (in the version file) should be used to detect changes. In this case all you can do is print a message asking them to update their style based on the blog post and then update the version number. Perhaps its a bit late this time, since most people have already made the changes but certainly for the future. Ideally the number could be used for backward compatibility too, but at least a message should be required. ..Steve
