[NUUG fiksgatami] FixMystreet in Norway?

[Matthew Somerville]

Hi,

Just for ease of import, I have gone ahead with the N5000 dataset; this 
can easily be upgraded at a later point, but should be good enough to be 
getting on with and produce something working.

The KML output by my mapit can be seen in this test file:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=http:%2F%2Farrow.ukcod.org.uk%2F~matthew%2Ftest.kml
which appears to have worked well.

We're currently having some DNS issues, so I can't point you at my mapit 
install yet, but here is some output from it below. I will fix it so 
that the IDs in the database match the N5000 ID numbers, as that would 
make sense.

Adding fylke is presumably just a lookup from the kommune, so that 
should be easy to do once we have a list mapping one to the other.

ATB,
Matthew
