Ok, but you have to make sure that the house number belongs to that street, else
you may assign the number to multiple streets.

I think this is a general point. If I got this right, mkgmap is doing a lot of
complex calculations more than once. At some execution point, ways are split, at other
points, ways are re-combined, sometimes distances are calculated, sometimes nearest
nodes are searched. Maybe it is possible to find a good data structure (e.g. the quadtree
used in LocationHook) that can be kept to aid such calculations?
