Subject: (better) implementation of Spatial Models

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386 
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site 
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources 
 
It would be great if spatial prediction models like Environmental Envelope,  
ANN, Generalized Additive Models (GAM), Tree etc. would be implemented in GRASS and  
could be used straight forward using a bunch of commands.   
   
At the moment a few can be used e.g. GRASP (GAM) via R but this approach is quite  
cumbersome. (http://www.cscf.ch/grasp/)
