... I don't care whether there's enough trees to call it a forest, I'm 
still calling it a forest macro ...

I think the macro is almost finished--I'll post the source sometime next 
week.

Actually, I now have an include file with two macros: One that plants a 
single clump of trees centered at a specified location, and one that 
populates an entire landscape by planting many clumps at random 
locations. I can mix and match the two depending on how much control I 
need over the scene.

Also, the landscape planting macro takes two shape arrays now: An array 
of tree shapes, and an array of bush shapes. The bush clumps are 
centered around the tree clumps, but spread out more.

While I'm posting, is anyone besides Sven interested in my landscape 
mesh generator program? I didn't originally intend to distribute the 
program, since Terragen and Geomorph are both already free and much more 
full-featured. However, if people are interested (one person does not 
count as "people") I'll try to clean up the program and put it online.
