Hi Gert,

yes, I think it must be useful, I also see it in Minkos styles at
http://www.openfietsmap.nl/

I don't fully understand the "better than nothing" part .
The current code adds a POI to each point, so each point has
a mkgmap:line2poitype=* tag with values start,end,mid, or inner
for the rest.

The option should be handled with great care, it is likely to
produce a large number of POI for highly detailed ways
created by some imports.
I already thought about an addtional parameter for the option,
something like --add-pois-to-lines=n where n gives a value in meter
for the minimum distance between two generated POI when the way
has more than 3 points.
