[Talk-ca] Great Lakes shoreline

[G. Michael Carter]

My suggestion on the coastline.  Connect both the canvec and existing
together at some point.  Leave it for a few days.  Then delete the old one.

That way there's always a connected coastline.   Especially if the coastline
is one of the great lakes.  It also handles the case I ran into.   I
finished a project and moved on, then someone wiped out part of my changes
with an update (they grabbed data days before my updates) this created a
disconnected coastline.
