Yes that is what I was intending to do. Counting the contour lines is a really good explaination. In my application (http://r2d2.stefanm.com/soc2009/application2009_altitude.txt) I explicitly mentioned the project from last year: "Some code should be resuable from last year's SRTM project by Sjors Provoost." However I also want to ADDITIONALLY add the altitude difference between two endpoints, as there might also be uses for this and it is trivial to compute when all the processing along the way is already done.
