scenery v0.9.8 was also built with the vmap0 landmass and shoreline
data.

looking at:
http://mapserver.flightgear.org/openlayers_sfobay.html?zoom=13&lat=37.86284&lon=-122.28796&layers=B00000TFFTFTT
(this is the bay area). i am not really sure how to interpret the
colours but if you look at the berkeley coastline in v1.0.0 you'll see
that the berkeley marina is missing, big chunks of alameda are also
missing, and so on. on the above map it looks like the actual coast is
outlined in a red line, then there is some white (same as the water)
and then there are the red and green chunks (which is the scenery in
v1.0.0). the berkeley marina is present in 0.9.8 (but it disappeared
in subsequent scenery releases). something is wrong (and it's been
wrong for a long time). it will be interesting to compare the current
algorithm with the one used to generate the coastline in 0.9.8 to try
to understand why all these things have disappeared.
