It is still recommended to use the precompiled sea due to several reasons:
1. It is much faster
2. splitted files (also with the new splitter) have the chance of 
flooding - espacially if you don't use a rectangular extract
3. It works also with sea tiles without any coastline
4. It has a reliable result - you will get the same results for all you 
mkgmap runs
