Steve,
Thanks for your advice.

Like Apollinaris says: --generate-sea takes very long.
And it doesn't work well with tiles, and depends on --ignore-osm-bounds
which buggers intertile routing.
So I compiled --generate-sea with a style with nothing but the
coastline, which ran for 1.5 hr and gave me a lovely map with the land &
sea seperated but nothing else. The plan is to use this in a mapset if I
want to have a blue sea. Almost like an overlay, but maybe an underlay?

Then I compiled the img with 1260, --generate-sea off, --index on - I
think the mdr branch is not included in 1260 yet? Because I only got the
normal Imgs & tdbs.(this took max 5 minutes)
Then I compiled with 1257 and --index. Gave me the mdr's and mdx's
within 2 seconds.
(I just realised I did not make the maps transparent, so I'll probably
have to do it again - no sweat it takes less than 10 min without
generate-sea.)
Now I try to send it to mapsource -
And realise I am still as stupid as I've always been :-/

Thanks for the great work on this project.
Every new dev is as exciting as the birth of a new baby,
and I love to read how you all work through the various hick-ups &
challenges!
