Uhm, maemo mapper has only recently been ported to maemo5. When
i came up with my naming scheme i was the only one storing map tiles
that way. Changing things now would mean that all of my apps have to
cleanup the old paths and convert the to the new scheme while at the 
same time making sure that they don't affect maemo mapper etc etc ...

With maemo mapper being in a such early state of development i am
hesitating to adopt to its rules.

And finally: Since when does maemo mapper store plain tiles at all?? Doesn't
it store everything in databases (even in varying sqlite or gnudb format)?

I am definitely willing to work on this. But today maemo mapper seems to be
far from even alpha quality, so i am not sure if i want to change my apps
already being in extras to deal with the map tiles repositories of a pre-beta 
version from extras-devel.

What about making maemo mapper deal with my repositories? I very likely
by now have the bigger installed user base and thus have to expect more
trouble during such a transition.
