...volunteers welcome ;-) The goal is to have something like a generic gshhs2ogr-converter that can convert gshhs to any format supported by the OGR library and outputs the data properly clipped to -180<=lon<=180, -90<=lat<=90. A tool independent of TerraGear but possibly using gpc would be favoured. One of the OGR-supported formats is PostgreSQL, which is the database software we are using on mapserver.flightgear.org.
