     True, but in any case though, I'll be starting on the changes that that 
are useful for things other than the plots first, and those will be 
written in C, and whether the plot-specific parts are written in python 
on not, they will depend on the nice general changes (i.e. 'global 
unique' maps). So in other words, it will probably a be a while till I 
get to that stage anyways.  Anyways, Now that I think about it, making 
the parts that are specific to the land plots as a separate plugin might 
be a good idea.

Hmm.. really a even simpler way to think about 'global unique' maps then 
my original explanation is as (optionally permanent) maps created from 
templates. And when applying unique or 'global unique' maps to the 
random map generator, it just makes the random map generator the 
template for the unique/'global unique' map.
