Hi Thomas,

Very cool. As it somehow related to what gdal_grid does (admitedly in a less 
beautiful fashion), I'm wondering if you've thought about the performance 
implications of a point layer with a lot of features (I've not looked at your 
code). Iterating over each point for each pixel might be very slowly. For some 
modes of gdal_grid I had started building a in-memory quadtree to speed-up the 
search for candidate points. Or perhaps you assume that the point layer has a 
spatial index (PostGIS, .qix, etc...) and use msQueryByRect() ?
