Reading the replies answering this question would be a good start.

Doing this with meshes is extremely, *EXTREMELY* difficult, as a macro 
or a patch. If you need to do that, you'd be better off using an 
isosurface.

Use the same method the height field macros use for images. Use an 
image_map in a pigment function, then call the function to get the color 
for each pixel.
