The small equal islands flavour is what they do. Use 1, 4, 5 if you 
don't want this type of land distribution. 

The bucket mechanism for distributing basic terrain is common to 
generators 2-4. There are some minor fixes to reduce totally random
mixing in the corecleanups, but the allocation in 1 or 5 is better
from a realism standpoint.

It is possible to use the make_<flavour> fixup routines that add 
various other touches with some minor tweaks. How to do this is 
shown by looking at the mapgenertor2 routine in the corecleanups.
If you generate a fake height_map, then the secondary make_<>s can
be run without too much problem.
