Just a quick FYI. I'm using a patched version of mapnik (trunk) with
heavily modified gdal datasource and rastersymbolizer which support
coloring raster data (among other improvements to handle >1Gb gtiff
files with embedded overviews).

I was planning to submit these patches upstream some day when I clean
them up (it is the first c++ code I've ever written!) but this would be
in a couple of weeks since I'm swamped with other work at the moment.

However, since it seems there's enough interest for this functionality
perhaps I could push them to a separate branch (for the vc goodness) as
they are right now to get more eyeballs on them and, hopefully, get some
help with the mentioned cleanup. Send me an email off-list if you'd like
to see the diffs, or perhaps I should post them to a ticket? (with a big
"unfinished & experimental" warning sign)

Cheers,
Alberto
