[GRASS5] Files for subpackages

[Silke Reimer]

Hi Markus,

many thanks for your answer. But I still have some questions (see
below).

Not really. Our idea was to have one subpackage with those parts of
grass which use OpenGL (which is NVIZ), another one for PostgreSQL
and a third one for ODBC. As I understand you a subpackage for NVIZ  is
not possible/desired. Why not? In my opinion it shouldn't be a
problem because NVIZ is build separatly by gmake5 and linked to
grass5 afterwards.
Second: Can you give me the reason why the ODBC doesn't hurt at all? 

My initial problem still exists. I think I should explain it again
because my first explanation wasn't really precise. The problem is
that the list of files before the building and installation of NVIZ
doesn't differ to that afterwards. I solved the problem by looking
for those files which are build by gmake5 in the NVIZ-directory
and the NVIZ-documentation files. But I still think that it is curios
that a difference doesn't exist.

Many greetings

Silke
