download-osm -make-dc to use a .poly file for BBOX #253
Description
The BBOX created by download-osm -make-dc using pbf-based statistics is larger that the bounding box of the polygon used to create the extract. In a relatively small area the bbox was 18-20 times larger.

It would be nice if make-dc will use the bounding box of the extraction polygon by default, and use the statistics-based bounding box only if it cannot be found. Currently poligon files are available from Geofabrik.de, OpenStreetMap.fr, and bbbike.org
