[bducdsxa] Gravity on non-spherical planets

Given a hypothetical non-spherical planet, especially one wildly different from a sphere, compute its gravity at its surface.  One way to depict it is drawing arrows on the surface saying which way and how fast a drop of water would flow.  Compute basins and watershed boundaries.  It is also possible that gravity is such that water might be pulled off the surface in certain locations.
