Well, it sure is nice.  I will read the patch tomorrow (I can either read 
a patch or test a patch, not both in the same day ;) and probably commit 
it.

Few issues that cought my eye (don't think they belong to this patch):

1. Whales in inland lakes.  Just a bit strange.  Probably we should check 
that there are no more than 2 out of 4 coasts around a tile before placing 
a whale.

2. ysize in topo > 3 should probably mean the native y-size, same about 
xsize.  I had 40x30 map but it looks like 60x15.

3. Overview must be iso-ised one day.

4. Scrolling.  Horizontal is fine unless client window is not too tall 
(otherwise starts to vibrate).  Vertical is zigzaging.  Just increase the 
step by 2 to solve this.
