[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.1.0 branch status

[Michael Barton]

A big showstopper is also NVIZ being broken on Macs. Until William
Kyngesburye's report of today, the cvs version was broken on all Macs under
all TclTk versions.

I don't know what changed, but William reports that it is now working under
x11 on all Macs. So this is a huge improvement. I'll try to confirm this
next week. If he can get it working under aqua, we'll be set.
