My temporary solution to this issue has been to create an additional map layer
containing ONLY the element 'natural=coastline' and giving this layer a priority
higher than the main 'base layer' but lower than the 'contours' layer.  It seems
to work well but a patched mkgmap to overcome this problem would be better.
