It has already been done. The result is PGS (sorry for the horrid url): http://www.nga.mil/portal/site/nga01/index.jsp?epi-content=GENERIC&itemID=9328fbd8dcc4a010VgnVCMServer3c02010aRCRD&beanID=1629630080&viewID=Article It still has some breaks in it where the coastline was obscured by cloud in the source data, but it does seem to be far more accurate than other sources. It has been imported into OpenStreetMap and tweaked to fill in the gaps/correct any errors (there are plenty of people editing, so no manpower worries) - it's probably not usable *yet* but provides the best freely available source, and should probably be considered for a scenery builds at some point in the future.
