Eric, John and all,

as the new Makefiles may require a better source code structure,
I would be glad to go for it. Actually I am not too happy with
current code structure! But I am not shure how we can manage
a major restructuring in CVS (John, you will know...). 
Shall we check in the restructured GRASS from scratch?

Eric, please send suggestions for a new directory structure.
I already have some ideas, but you already have experience
what's required for the new Makefiles.

.. yes, please add further tests. I have limited time
these days, so you are welcome to add further things.

What could be tested:
- generate raster/vector files, convert to contrary format,
  convert back and compare
- generate synthetic pattern, compare different modules to
  measure perimeter, area, average etc.
- ...

As GRASS is scriptable, we should be able to write a sophisticated
test suite.

Yours

 Markus
