So actually this is a possibility to get rid of nonclosed shapes that cause "flooding" or similar stuff too I suppose, great!

At which resolution is it calculating the area? Always 24, or the size at each resolution?

As for multipolygons - I would say the total size of all splitted parts rather than inside the relations file.
(which would actually get a bit closer to the problem, that at lower resolutions, the cutouts from multipolygons shouldn't be cut out - e.g. for a forest at 21 or below - only look at the outer line, and do not cut out parts - especially if empty, but that's a completly different topic).

The patch adds a new style function called garmin_area().
garmin_area() returns the size of an area in garmin-units ^2. It works for polygons only. Unclosed ways return 0.

Please test it and let me know:
* Do you have a better name?
* What to do with multipolygons? Should garmin_area() return the multipolygon size for all splitted parts of the mp?
or: Should it be possible to use garmin_area() in the relations file? In this case it would be possible to add tags to all members which can then be used in the polygons file.
Example:
type=multipolygon & building=yes & garmin_area() > 20000
{ apply
  {
    set mkgmap:bigbuilding=yes;
  }
}

Have fun!
