separate the ways/pois from the rest of the configuration

Description

Please make the ways/layers/pois/whatever separate (layers_and_pois.xml? themes.xml?).
- They are scary
- Most newcomers (and regular users) won't ever touch them
- They make the "configuration" file huge and difficult to manage
- They make resolving merge conflicts or keeping track of svn changes a major pain

Change History

Especially the layouts can get stored in $NAVIT_SHAREDIR/layouts/*.xml because they don't change that often and cosume over 90% of the current navit.xml. I'd do that then :)

Additionally it would be nice if personal files could override the provided configuration. $NAVIT_SHAREDIR/ could contain a provided base config, /etc/navit systemwide changes and ~/.navit/navit.xml personal changes. This way users would not have to touch the configuration if additional functionality is added.

Cheers, Torsten
