Thanks for the parms, Christoph!

This is interesting. Just out of curiosity: Why do you use
an external program? Speed?
And how does this prog interface to pov? Do you import the
result as a height-field?
I found that iso's get _very_ slow when superposing eg 3 or
more RMFs, so using an external prog might speed it up a lot.

Eagerly waiting for Icy Coast 4 ...
