one thought I had: could you create a plugin that emulates (or is a frontend 
for) the vegetate.inc you could find on :

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Program/9231/povray.html ???

The vegetation object placement file would really be helpful to your landscape 
plugin, but I'm afraid that if you directly integrate vegetate 
functionalities in your own plugin, then vegetate.inc couldn't be used 
easily, I suppose, for other purposes in any scene... Perhaps I'm wrong, I 
know nothing of the magic of plugins... ;)

If you need help reviewing the features the vegetate.inc, I could be of some 
help for you: I just wrote a paper on it for the French GNU/Linux Magazine. 
Even if I know nothing about its programming, I can say now that I know quite 
a bit about its use.

Stay in touch...
