Thanks for the implementation!

BTW: It should be noted that on the 'imagrs-l' mailing list some quality 
issues are currently discussed:
http://adis.cesnet.cz/cgi-bin/lwgate/IMAGRS-L/archives/imagrs-l.log0308/subject
   - Thread "SRTM 30 arc-sec global DEM"

So maybe these data will be modified again (but not the file format,
I think).
