The nviz additions are great (especially the legend, north arrow and
labels)
but it needs more testing as I did only very little.
I found that the relative position of the multiple surfaces has shifted
- 
this may be due to changes in vector draping ? (allowing draping 
slightly above the surface to ensure full visibility - another
extremely valuable addition). So if more people could try-out
the latest nviz in CVS version that would help to make sure that nothing
gets broken for the release..

I still need to update the recent Laura's change so that it compiles on
RedHat
and I need to add manual page for simwe. Also I haven't really tested
the latest
version. Maybe these two should wait for 5.0.4

Jaro emailed me s.surf.rst with crossvalidation (he did it really fast)
but again I have not been able to test it so that would be something to
consider 
for 5.0.4 as well.

Also I was wondering whether it would be useful to include r.recolor
and d.site.labels from 
 http://grass.itc.it/outgoing/SJGeo.tar.gz
and r.wavelets into CVS so that it is easier for people to try them out.
I am not sure whether any of these tools are under development for 5.1
(in particular histogram equalized color tables and writing rotated site
labels
may be something that users would appreciate).
