Mhhh: I have written:

this are two packages. The difference is: I would package NVIZ separately
from GRASS to save space. As far as I understand you want to or three full
GRASS packages. That's also possible... :-)

ODBC is not supported in NVIZ. The other modules which support ODBC
and other DBMS should always go into GRASS. So it doesn't hurt if it
is always included.

Perhaps we should phone? Maybe that's easier...
