[Gvsig_english] xyz data

[Benjamin Ducke]

Use the r.in.ascii GRASS module from within
SEXTANTE to directly rasterize the data.
That way, you can deal with millions of data
points without having to go through memory
and CPU intensive operations, such as building
vector points and interpolating them back to
a raster.
