--terrain tells the build to use osgTerain::TerrainTile for terrain
rather than using osg::Geometry.  Have a search through the last few
months archives on this topic, I've written plenty.

--LOD vs --PagedLOD, weill this is just whether it builds a single
database containing osg::LOD, or a paged database of many separate
tiles using osg::PagedLOD.  Just use the default which is --PagedLOD
as this is really what VPB is about, the --LOD is really just there
for testing purposes.
