Nice work Hamish.  Glad you are using libLAS.  When might GRASS  
improve to using libLAS directly so there is no need for the las2txt  
operations?

Also, libLAS and its linking libraries and include files are available  
for OSGeo4W, which I see GRASS is starting to take advantage of for  
its windows builds.
