if the data is in a projection, and you want to write a lat/lon geotiff, you 
need to reproject the data, and then the question of how to do that 
reprojection arises. its not a trivial thing to do in general, although if all 
you want is a picture its simple enough.

ill let you know if we can find someone to work on the geotiff code.
