I haven't been checking in the changes to the osm.xml since I still see
this new low zoom shapefile as somewhat experimental and don't want
force people to download different shapefiles each week. 

The current mapnik layer osm.xml uses 2 coastline shapefiles

http://tile.openstreetmap.org/shoreline_300.tar.bz2 (34MB)
http://hypercube.telascience.org/~kleptog/processed_p.zip (340MB)

The relevant bits of the osm.xml are below. The 'world-1' style & layer
has been removed.
