	I look at the docs for heightfield. 

HEIGHT_FIELD: 
     height_field{ HF_TYPE "filename" [HF_MODIFIER...] } 
HF_TYPE: 
     gif | tga | pot | png | pgm | ppm | sys <<<<<<<<
HF_MODIFIER: 
     hierarchy [Boolean] | 
     smooth [Boolean] | 
     water_level Level | 
     OBJECT_MODIFIER 

	All the HF_TYPEs are image formats. I have hacked the
uncompressed .tga format but haven't tried to implement it yet.
Is there an easier way?
