-GMT requires netcdf, available at SlackBuilds.org.
+This requires netcdf.
+
+There are a number of different resolution coastline files available for
+GMT, and their size on disk varies from <2MB (low) to 61.7MB (full).
+They come in 3 separate archives:
+ GSHHS2.0.2_coast.tar.bz2 GSHHS2.0.2_high.tar.bz2 GSHHS2.0.2_full.tar.bz2
+
+The first contains the low, intermediate and coarse resolutions, the second
+the high resolution, and the third the full resolution. I prefer to have all
+of them installed (disk space is cheap), but you may not. Therefore, all
+three sets will be installed by default unless you choose otherwise in the
+script, e.g. setting "COASTS=coast" in the environment would install only the
+low, intermediate, and coarse resolutions.
+
+Please note, Shewchuk's triangulation routine used in some parts of GMT is
+not distributed under the GNU Public Licence. If you work for a for-profit
+organisation, you should read Shewchuk's copyright statement first (in
+src/README.TRIANGLE). This script enables the (much faster) Shewchuk
+triangulation routine by default; should you need to change this behaviour,
+set SHEWCHUK to "no" in the build script.
-In order to build GMT, there are a number of required archives:
-
-GMT4.5.1_doc.tar.bz2
-GMT4.5.1_share.tar.bz2
-GMT4.5.1_src.tar.bz2
-GMT4.5.1_suppl.tar.bz2
-GMT4.5.1_triangle.tar.bz2 (if you require Shewchuk's triangulation
-routine (see below)).
-
-These must all be downloaded and placed in the same directory as the
-SlackBuild script (as with any source).

-(full). They come in 3 separate archives:
-
-GSHHS2.0.1_coast.tar.bz2
-GSHHS2.0.1_high.tar.bz2

-would install only the low, intermediate and coarse resolutions. A
-minimum of GSHHS2.0.1_coast.tar.bz2 is required.
-
-To download all the files, the following works:
-wget \
- ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/GMT4.5.1_{doc,share,src,suppl,triangle}.tar.bz2 \
- ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/GSHHS2.0.1_{full,coast,high}.tar.bz2
