It may be a bit slower but probably not much if at all. It is clearer what 
it is doing and more consistent with usage in other GRASS modules anyway.

Previous correspondence on the list has indicated that in all C
implementations we can rely on the size of a char being 1 byte so it is
more efficient not to use the sizeof() function.

It would be nice also to use indent according to the spec in the 
SUBMITTING document to format the file nicely, as I left it in a total 
mess when originally submitting it.

Paul
