Sounds like the code for terrain shadowing and interpolation would be a nice 
addition to the analysis library of QGIS (code under src/analysis). Currently 
this library contains code for raster calculation, zonal statistics, some 
vector analysis and a bit of spatial interpolation (IDW and TIN). It would be 
great to have more content inside this library and especially more people 
maintaining it.

Code inside the analysis library will be accessible from all the plugins (C++ 
and python) and if needed also from the server. 

Regards,
Marco
