Good call with GDAL reader/writer, but this only gives you 1 point per
cell. Another partial solution would be to use filters.locate, searching
for the max in the Z dimension (see the docs on how to specify this). You'd
have to split using filters.splitter first, and would have the same issue
in the end of having a single point per cell. I'm just not sure we have a
filter that could take that value and apply it to the rest of the points in
the cell. You could write a Python script and call that with filters.python.
