    I use GRASS quite a lot, but always thought that it would be slow on
    vector points. I know Brovelli and her team developed some modules,
    I'll check on that. Good idea to use LibLAS as "driver" to turn LAS
    to xyz.<br>

              Regarding Aaron's question, I am playing around with
              LibLAS to develop a ground classification procedure. It
