Do I hear the sound of someone volunteering to do it?  I'd be happy
to integrate a nethack-style layout maker into the code I've already made,
if someone were to give me one.

I've other priorities, however, for the random map generator that I intend
to get to first, before I coded a nethack-style generator myself.
