This is very much encouraged. For the contour lines the computing  
times may be that long that it makes sense to have separate files (I'm  
doing contour lines for Germany in octave and it takes about half a  
week - and the contour function in octave is programmed native, not in  
octave script itself).

What this is also good for is to calculate the inclination of roads,  
which in turn would be very nice to have for bicycle routing. So as  
soon as you have something working I'd like to have a look at it.
