You really mean you wish that fast spatial indexing and retrieval were available for LAS files :) The next version of libLAS will have that too, actually. I have already coded up some special cased examples of it (using parallel file storage of libspatialindex indexes), but I am hoping to implement something more generic. This also might fall across the liblidar/lidarformat line as well, I don't know.
