It looks like this is the code responsible for exit:to and similar variables.
I played with this some time ago and the informations are shown in mapsource,
don't remember anymore about my GPS device.
The problem is, with the current way how things are mapped
in OSM, it is nearly impossible to fill out this fields correct
only with a style file. This would need help of mkgmap itself.
That's why I stopped looking at it.

But I haven't found a way to search for them, too.

In the end, I would let the code stay and not remove it.
