// Write out a gtx file of geoid heights above the ellipsoid.  For egm2008 at
// 1' resolution this takes about 40 mins on a 8-processor Intel 2.66 GHz
// machine using OpenMP.
//
// For the format of gtx files, see
// http://vdatum.noaa.gov/dev/gtx_info.html#dev_gtx_binary
//
// data is binary big-endian:
//   south latitude edge (degrees double)
//   west longitude edge (degrees double)
//   delta latitude (degrees double)
//   delta longitude (degrees double)
//   nlat = number of latitude rows (integer)
//   nlong = number of longitude columns (integer)
//   nlat * nlong geoid heights (meters float)
