I do something much less complicated.  I use gforge to create a pgm
hightmap.  I then have a very simple tool to convert the pgm into
one of my map files.

There is nothing like using an existing tool that does the job properly.

One thing that I'm supprised no one has written yet, at least I've not
been able to find one, is a perlin noise texture generator.  The algorithm
is described in detail on the web but no source code.
