The main reason I knocked it together was simply to make the landscape
tinkering process easier and faster; resolution, shape, functions can all
be changed in a single render. If I want a really high-res landscape, I
don't have to wait for it to churn out the image and then import it back
again. It seemed like a good excuse to learn how to use mesh2, too.

I'll have a think, and see what else I could do with it!
