As I understand it, the semantics of OSM are that a barrier node in a
way does control access.  So it's a bug if mkgmap by default does not
produce a map that respects that.  Essentially, I'm arguing that
--link-pois-to-ways should default to on, following the principle that
there is a correct garmin representation of OSM semantics and that this
correct representation should be the default.
