Updates from 4.1.4 to 4.2.0.

Description:
------------
GMT is a collection of about 60 UNIX tools that allow
 users to manipulate (x,y) and (x,y,z) data sets (including
 filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting,
 etc.) and produce Encapsulated PostScript File (EPS)
 illustrations ranging from simple x-y plots through contour
 maps to artificially illuminated surfaces
 and 3-D perspective views in black and white, gray tone,
 hachure patterns, and 24-bit color. GMT supports 30
 common map projections plus linear, log and power scaling,
 and comes with support data such as coastlines, rivers,
 and political boundaries.
