I seem to be getting into the habit of pulling these little
aside-comments out into the light, but still...

Have you custom-built a cave generation system?  Or is it based on
some readily-available algorithm?  I tried this a few years ago, and
could not find enough information to build a worthy natural cave
system.  I could even draw a decent map free-hand (IMO) but couldn't
come up with a decent set of algorithms that looked right.  I'd love
to know where you came up with your numbers.  Come to think of it, it
could benefit my new project...
