[GRASS5] r.profile

[Helena Mitasova]

Hamish, could this be incorporated into r.profile or at least provided 
as a script? There are many applications where this capability is needed 
and I am sure that many users would appreciate it (especially those who 
work with coastal data, including myself).

thanks, Helena
