The gstat manual (appendix A.3) mentions the possibility to do block kriging
for irregularly shaped blocks, using the area command/option.

It mentions that the 'file' should contain the points that describe the
shape. I'm not sure what it expects. Is it :

1). A "mask" map that has a value for all cells within the irregular block
and No Data for all other cells
2). The vertices of the irregular shape specified by x,y coordinates in a
GeoEas type data file.

In the latter case, should the number of discretisation points within the
block be specified by using the set nblockdiscr=x option?
