Hi Martin,

I just made a few more slight refinements to this in CVS. :)

Standard verbosity level is "2", max is "3". putenv(=2) would override
--verbose (which now sets v=3).

I have just added a new G_verbose_std() fn to take care of this:
  int verbose=FALSE;

  if(G_verbose() > G_verbose_std())
      verbose=TRUE;

So it should be cleaner to set verbose mode in future.

I used G_putenv() instead of putenv(). (sorry r.buffer example I gave uses
putenv(), but as it's POSIX it's everywhere so I doubt this change makes
much of a difference)

I put the verbose tests back in for the G_message() and G_done_msg()
calls; you don't want d.vect chatty by default when called from the
command line, only when --verbose (or -v) was used.


regards,
Hamish
