Great! The possibilities are endless of course and your map addition is 
an interesting idea. Realistic mountain ranges can be obtained using the 
f_hetero_mf function for instance. Before you know it, you will end up 
with a monstrous amount of code generating magnificent landscapes at a 
crawl. ;-) Been there done that: It happened to me in the past with my 
Geomorph isosurface macros...

However, that is the fun of it isn't it?
