Yes, yes indeed.. and the fact that the source of the raw terrain data 
keeps changing the interface doesn't make it any easier.  Just give me a 
simple backend like FTP with a decent naming convention for the tiles.

But no.. we want fancy web point and click interfaces where you can draw 
boxes and return customized grids and stuff.

This is why companies can actually stay in business solving that problem 
for people.
