I don't beleive the script will screw with the new stuff, at least as I saw
them at the time we were discuusing this.

The comments where about the castle maps (which is in the forest).  The
castle maps depend on inv_checkers working properly, which is why I fixed
the various bugs and submitted them first.  Because the inv_checker bugs
had not been fixed, there was no point resubmitting the castle maps.

Nope, my script did not change mountains or elevation.  It did preserve
some mixed terrain.

I have upgraded my OS and shelve looks like it works fine now.

It looks like I will soon have proper CVS access, so I will download a
recent version, double check that my inv_checker patches have been apllied,
run my forestation script and patch any problems, then work on fixing the
castle problems as discussed ealier (including new scripts).  Expect to
soon see new maps.
