        I think rob should not modify the server, because you don't
need it to generate the "fractal part" of the terrain. If your customized
server generates fractal datas with the help of the existing map, then all
this code could be moved on the client side.

        Also, I think it's bad in term of software engineering : your are
mixing client & sever issues. When playing with the (futur) 3d client, I
want to be able to play with people playing the Gtk client, the Java
client, the Xaw client...
