Hi Gerd, please find attached a small patch to echo and echotags. This change improves the format of the messages such that the type of element is included and the fake Id is replaced with a fragment saying the element has been generated. The latter allows the output of different runs of mkgmap to be compared without randomly generated Ids causing differences. I can't see any need to know the actual fake Ids, just the fact that the element has been generated should be sufficient. I have also removed "- " from echotags and ":" from echo as unnecessary and inconsistent.
