Not very complicated; you just have to abandon support for shell
scripts (the 7.0 build system only supports Python scripts).

Supporting both Python scripts and shell scripts in the same build
system would be complicated, which is why I gave up trying for 7.0.

There are some other things in 6.x which the 7.0 build system doesn't
support. E.g. r.terraflow only supports float; having both short and
float versions built from the same source code was too complicated, so
that feature was removed.
