I think it's independent of the part of the world. There are in general 
two use-cases:

* actual coastline data -> --generate-sea=....

* proofed coastline data -> --precomp-sea=... --generate-sea

It should be possible to find a default for actual coastline-data. I've 
never played with floodblocker, so I can't say, which values are best.

So maybe we could have --generate-sea-precomp=<file-name> and 
--generate-sea-actual
