[mkgmap-dev] coastline boundaries

Hi Gerd,
I don't know what you discussed with WanMil, but I think it would be 
better to use mkgmap:coastline=yes in combination with precompiled sea 
polygons and keep the original way completly untouched (as you did 
already). In this case no special handling for natural=coastline is 
necessary. Such a special handling isn't easy to understand.

While processing mkgmap has to decide, if precompliled data should be 
used or original data. If precompiled data is used, mkgmap is using 
mkgmap:coastline=yes for generation, otherwise natural=coastline is used.
