Real soon now. 

The coastline error checker and shapefile generation tool from Kleptog
have produced a new set of shapefiles from the osm coastline data. 

Artem told me a few days ago that the shapefiles were working well for
him in Mapnik. It will probably take me a few more days to verify these
and update the main map layer to use them.
