Artificial Cave Challenge

Its not actually much of a challenge, but it can make for some pretty awesome looking fortresses.
You know how when you designate a large area for mining, the dwarf's don't seem to have a pattern and dig pretty much randomly?

That's the basis of this challenge, instead of digging out a nice orderly fortress, designate a huge rectangular area and watch your dwarf's dig out a random series of tunnels and rooms. Then after a while, simply stop them digging, and viola, your own dwarfish cave.

Some issues I can see are confinement, It'd be hard to find any rooms that could hold an insane or berserker's dwarf in case of a mood, and hostiles would also be a problem, but's its all part of the challenge,

For added effect follow any clusters and ore veins you might find
