Yes this is nice way.

i think specials will be separated of terrains, the some special can be
in different terrains and or temperatures. this will allow to create
nice maps.

mountains and forest can be donne as a specials, as rivers. to allow to
make mountains on arctic tundra or dessert.

and terraform forest can add a little of forest changing a little the
stats until a full forest.

after updating to SUsE 9,1 i get problems of charset. normaly now i use
UTF-8 but this is not full compilant on all programs

I prepare the math and the doc for the quincuntial case, these case is
too complex to be make as exact math but in a intuitive way this will be
easy, 90% done, i need tune it but my soft has problems on kernel 2,6.
