REVISION SUMMARY
  Input: A text file which contains information regarding Natural Earth datasets for each lower level
  Output: Vector tiles of the levels described in the above text file.
  
  Features:
  
  - Automatic download of Natural Earth shp files in zipped form.
  - Extracting the zipped version of the above files.
  - Conversion of the shp files to osm and creation of a specific planetosm for a particular level.
  - Creation of vector tiles using the above planetosm for a particular level.
  
  (In the skype chat it was decided that downloading of files will not be done by the script but I still included it since only the download module of vectortilecreator.py had to be edited slightly to achieve the required facility)
  
  Usage:
  
  For creating the text file containing dataset information for each lower level, proceed as follows:
  For each level :-
  
  - No. followed by asterisk is the level no.
  - All the lines following the above line are Natural Earth dataset names which can be obtained by looking at their download urls.
