Hi Matt

Compiled easily enough on my Kubuntu Breezy system with "g++ hillshade.cpp 
-lgdal -o hillshade" and works perfectly.

If you would like to add an easy to learn and manage cross platform build 
environment take a look at scons.

Now I'm just in need of a tool to make color relief maps. Maybe I can hack 
yours.  :)

Thanks
Paul
