Hi Steve,

here are my thoughts about it:

--latin1 should be removed it's the same as --code-page=1252

--index default on could break map-creation on older machines, don't 
know if this would be good

--createbounds keep or put it in a separate tool, maybe together with 
create precompiled sea

--location-autofil is needed in all regions were boundaries are not 
complete (which are many regions, if you leave EU or US)

--levels should be removed. You can use resolution in style, or am I wrong?

--name-tag-list could also be removed, can be handled in style eg. 
name:en=* {set name='${name}'}

--add-pois-to-lines keep, you'll need it to draw POI on a line feature. 
Eg. ford=yes, hiking routes...

--pois-to-areas-placement: How to solve this in style-file? It would be 
better to make it default on

--coastlinefile obsolet

--generate-sea could stay as is. precompiled sea is not a solution for 
everyone, eg. if you need always actual coastline-data
