Personally I don't like the idea of including more map generators into 
CVS.  But this generator is good...

I would recommend working on 4072 patch instead.  It goes in the right 
direction.  What needs to be done about it?  It should be understood, 
split into smaller more localized patches, cleaned and then applied.  The 
last of these things I can do.
