[GRASS5] Modifying GRASS 4.3

[Bernhard Reiter]

Hi Matt,

thanks for making contact with us.
This list is mainly for the GRASS5 development, but of course we are
happy over all improvements which are made to the GRASS source code.
So please publish them.

I assume that you are starting to enchance GRASS4.3 because your
professor is using this. It there a chance that your chances can be
useful for the GRASS5 codebase, too? There is a chance that your
professor will consider changing to version 5 of grass in the future.
(He does not need to, of course.)

Regards,
	Bernhard
