I am writing this email to ask anyone if there is a manual that explain how a C programmer can do a painless conversion. Another question: are there new ways to parse the command line?

Damiano,

for a quick-and-dirty change have a look at:

 lib/sites/README

in the new GRASS 6 source code. Takes you a few minutes to
update the code. But it's (much) slower than using the new
vector methods.
