The plugin keeps attention that only three raster rows are in virtual memory at a time, so it is also possible to process large rasters.

Cool!

Btw. are there any objections on merging the branch with the analysis library after the release of 1.2 and using the library for the interpolation and raster terrain plugin? fTools will come later I think as it probably is a lot of work to port the python code to C++...

Yes I think its a great idea to merge it with the analysis branch / make
it part of the analysis lib - I was hoping to work some more on that in
the hackfest too.
