I can update the renderer to use a different shapefile fairly easily
but the issue right now is that the coastline data is incomplete for
the rest of the world (with most of the US underwater). To use the
current data would requires me to do some selective merging of the
existing vmap0 files with Kleptog's shapefiles (If I can get them or
the scripts from him). It will probably take a few hours to do the
work and verify that it renders OK.

It would be a lot easier if we could use the new data for the whole
world and get rid of the vmap0 data but are still missing large parts
of the North America and Eastern Europe.
