Heh - I wish I'd found that a couple of weeks ago :-)

I couldn't find anything that could convert hgt files so I hacked a 
quick java program to convert hgt to pgm. All my program needed to do 
was add the PGM header as otherwise the formats are the same.

It would have been fairly quick but it turned out that POV-Ray is very 
fussy about what type of whitespaces you use in the pgm header gah.
Pov seems to expect you to use newlines everywhere except between the 
width and height (where you should use a space), but I didn't know this 
so at first I just used spaces everywhere.
