yes, I added a few system.out.println and found that a lot of sea or land polygons are
completely dropped by the filters, for example a polygon with 14 points
was reduced two 3 points by the RoundCoordsFilter and then thrown away
by another.

In the tile splitter I decided that a ratio of 1:4 or less is nice, but I have
no theory for that.

OK, thanks. Let's see...
