[Qgis-user] Add distance to shapefile M

[Stewart Holt]

The need is to put cumulative distance on each point, so P1.M would be
zero, P2.M would be the 3D distance from P1 to P2 and P3.M would be the sum
of P2.M plus the 3D distance from P2 to P3, etc. The M value of each point
would be the cumulative 3D distance from P1.

Uses of the M value are the ability to click on line and get distance and
in producing elevation profiles.
