Markus,

Many thanks at a first cut at this!

What I am planning on doing is making a fine-grained partitioning of
GRASS into many small packages with dependency relationships. I
imagine splitting functionality based on task, data types, file
formats, etc.

This will have general applicability to systems such as Debian that
handle package dependency trees quite nicely, as well as to handheld
systems, (such as Familiar which has similar package management
capability).

That way, if you really do need to r.in.tiff, (or anything else), on
your handheld for whatever reason, you'll still have the option of
installing the package to do it, (without having to install all 32MB
of GRASS).

-Carl
