o.k, done. I have been using Eric's version as I don't get g.xml2html
compiled at time. Perhaps Eric can update again the
html/grass_commandlist.html

as I have added the missing descriptions? The web site will get updated
by cron_job.

fixed.

all removed as these html pages are pretty outdated (use book instead).

Changed.

Well, at time I have
 - retagged src/libes/g3d to the release_branch (although I dislike this due
   to the bugs)
 - added s.vol.rst at
   src.contrib/GMSL/g3d/src3d/sites/s.vol.rst

So s.vol.rst can be compiled successfully. As the other g3d modules are
not present, the g3d lib shouldn't cause too much headaches at time.

... they look nice!

Thanks for contributing s.vol.rst!
