The refactor to support raster colour ramps is awesome stuff! It is
still very hard to find anything useful from the cpt chooser. I almost
wonder if it wouldnt be better to show them graphically in a long list
with the gradient name next to each.

Also would you mind making these available by default (if licensing
allows). Apologies if it is already in your last commit - I am still
using hte manual extracted cpt set.
