The map data is actually very simple (just lines in an integer
coordinate system) and most of the separate parts are identified.
The main "ocean" is handled by drawing its complete boundary,
drawing the islands. and then using "even-odd filling". It could
be done just as effectively with a seed fill.
TO BE DONE
Make sure that the internal boundaries end at a point on the
country boundary. An artifact of the (very tedious and unsatisfactory)
way the map was created means that some endpoints don't coincide with
actual boundary point - thus filling the counrties with the right
colour is probably not going to work.
All of the current "junction points" are marked with "% xNNN" as end-of-line
PostScript comments.
Better printing in the remaining space. Some sort of legend in the top-left
gap in Russia.
