Hmm.. Further investigation shows that it is magically using the .hgt and 
.prj when reading a file with a ".bil" extension (even though it is 
identical to the .hgt file).

However, if you point it at the .hgt file instead then gdal_translate 
seems to parse the location data out of the file name anyway.  The only 
difference appears to be that the resulting file contains 
"AREA_OR_POINT=Point" instead of "AREA_OR_POINT=Area".

It seems that gdal_fillnodata.py outputs a tiff with "AREA_OR_POINT=Area" 
if I point it at a .hgt file too...  (Still confused why it doesn't want 
to work on tiff inputs though)
