-There are a number of different resolution coastline files available for
-GMT, and their size on disk varies from <2MB (low) to 61.7MB (full).
-They come in 3 separate archives:
- GSHHS2.1.0_coast.tar.bz2 GSHHS2.1.0_high.tar.bz2 GSHHS2.1.0_full.tar.bz2

-The first contains the low, intermediate and coarse resolutions, the second
-the high resolution, and the third the full resolution. I prefer to have all
-of them installed (disk space is cheap), but you may not. Therefore, all
-three sets will be installed by default unless you choose otherwise in the
-script, e.g. setting "COASTS=coast" in the environment would install only the
-low, intermediate, and coarse resolutions.
+With the 4.5.7 GMT release, there is only a single coastline archive to
+download. Accordingly, I've modified the script to use all the coastline
+data (removing the option of using only a subset of the coastline files).
